Captains Charity
The Golf Foundation can be nominated as a Captain’s Charity to help provide a future for the sport and support the mental wellbeing of young people.
Contributions are invested directly into impactful initiatives, such as Unleash Your Drive in Schools, which has seen a 20% increase in mental toughness understanding among participants. Funds also support the GolfSixes League, which reached over 8,000 juniors in 2024, and community projects that engaged over 2,000 youngsters in underserved areas—70% of whom were from ethnically diverse backgrounds.
Leave a Legacy
The lives of children can be transformed through golf, and a lasting difference for the next generation can be made through a gift in a Will.
Contributions of any size allow for the long-term planning of programmes that introduce young people to the sport while developing vital mental toughness tools for adulthood.
From supporting the GolfSixes League to funding Unleash Your Drive in Schools, these legacies ensure that the game remains accessible to all, including underserved communities and children with disabilities.
Donate in Memory
Honour a loved one’s legacy by supporting The Golf Foundation. Contributions can be made at a funeral, memorial, or celebration of life, often arranged via a funeral director with donation boxes and envelopes provided if required.
Alternatively, you may celebrate a life by creating a dedicated Online Tribute Page. This provides a comforting space for family and friends to share photos, videos, and stories, or leave messages of condolence while raising funds. These pages are easy to set up, can be shared via social media, or kept private if you prefer. It is a meaningful way to come together, even from afar, to honour a cause close to a loved one’s heart.
Celebrate their life and support our work:
