The LPGA Foundation supports women and young girls through programs and initiatives to empower them through the game of golf. It is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization supporting junior golf programs, scholarships, and financial assistance programs for women and girls.
The Lpga Foundation’s largest recent awards are repeated $200,000 scholarships to Clearview Legacy Foundation in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That pattern shows a funder that combines high-value scholarship support with sustained backing for girls’ golf programming. The foundation’s grantmaking is centered on women and young girls, especially through junior golf, scholarships, and financial assistance tied to education and advancement in the sport. Recent grants also show support for program delivery, not only awards to students. The Lpga Foundation funded girls’ golf support at Future Citizens Foundation, The First Tee Tri-valley, and The Scga Foundation, alongside scholarship funding for Renaissance Jr Golf and Women in Golf Foundation. This mix of scholarship and program support fits the foundation’s public-charity structure and its mission to empower women and girls through golf-related opportunities. Across its recent activity, the foundation gives nationally and works through nonprofit partners rather than individuals. Its published grant history indicates both general philanthropic gifts and more targeted support for junior golf sites and women’s golf organizations, with recurring funding relationships appearing in multiple years.
Scholarship support is one of the clearest threads in the foundation’s recent giving. It gave $15,000 to Renaissance Jr Golf in 2024 for scholarship support, and $12,500 to Women in Golf Foundation in 2025 for scholarships. Earlier awards also included $7,625 to Dreams of Lois Inc in 2024 for scholarship support. Girls’ golf programming is another major lane. The foundation awarded $90,000 to Future Citizens Foundation in 2024 for girls golf support, $55,000 to The First Tee Tri-valley in 2024 for the same purpose, and $15,000 to The First Tee Hawaii in 2024 for girls golf support. It also backs organizations that extend access to golf for girls and young women through local or regional programming. Examples include $25,000 to Girls Golf of America in 2025, $15,000 to Peggy Kirk Bell Girls Golf Tour in 2024, and $12,000 to Junior Golf Association of Arizona in 2024.
Typical grant sizes cluster in the low five figures: the 25th percentile is $7,000, the median is $10,162, and the 75th percentile is $15,000. That distribution suggests many grants are modest program or scholarship awards, with a smaller set of larger strategic gifts. The foundation’s recent record also shows repetition over time, including the same recipient receiving $200,000 in three separate years. It is a public charity, not an individual-giving vehicle, and it does not make program-related investments. Public materials and grant records indicate nonprofit grantmaking and scholarships rather than an open application process.

The Lpga Foundation gives nationally, and every recent grant in the dataset went to a U.S. recipient. California appears most often by grant count, while Florida accounts for 18% of grants. Recipient locations in the recent list include Canton, OH; Salinas, CA; Pleasanton, CA; Studio City, CA; Greensboro, NC; and Atlanta, GA. The spread also reaches New Jersey, Arizona, Illinois, South Carolina, Hawaii, and Washington, DC, showing a broad U.S. footprint rather than a single-region program.
It funds nonprofit partners tied to women’s and girls’ golf, including junior golf programs, girls golf sites, scholarship-focused organizations, and general donations to groups working in golf-related youth development. Recent grants include scholarship support and girls golf support, showing both direct educational aid and program funding.
The foundation’s grant-size distribution is centered in the low five figures: p25 is $7,000, median is $10,162, and p75 is $15,000. That suggests many awards are relatively small program or scholarship grants, with some larger strategic commitments above that range.
Yes. One clear example is Clearview Legacy Foundation, which received $200,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The record also shows repeat support for other organizations, including The Scga Foundation in both 2024 and 2025.
Its giving is national, but California has the highest grant count in the recent data. Florida is also important, with 18% of grants going to recipients in the foundation’s headquarters state.
