THE PLAYERS Equipment Grant
THE PLAYERS Championship is committed to supporting athletes across Northeast Florida in their golf journeys. Our championship strives to increase equity, improve participation, and grow competitive play in the game of golf regardless of socioeconomic status. To better understand equipment needs and barriers of access to the sport, THE PLAYERS offers an equipment grant program open to all Northeast Florida nonprofit organizations with 501(c)3 tax-exempt status.
Equipment is not to be resold and all equipment must be used exclusively for the program outlined in your application.
THE PLAYERS Annual Grant Program
THE PLAYERS Annual Grant Program provides an opportunity for local nonprofits to receive funding to improve the local community. In gratitude of 50 years of community support and to celebrate the success of THE PLAYERS Championship’s 50th anniversary this past March, the program will award local nonprofits with $50,000 grants as a special tribute to this significant milestone. This grant program is closed for 2024 but will reopen following THE PLAYERS 2025.
