Grant Funding Guidelines & Application Process

**IMPORTANT–PLEASE READ CAREFULLY PRIOR TO COMPLETING THE GRANT APPLICATION**

The LPGA Foundation has established the Enrich Grant Program to offset a portion of the expenses incurred in connection with improving the quality of LPGA*USGA Girls Golf sites (each a “Site”). This newly established grant replaces the Participation Grant and Sandy LaBauve Grant, uniting the two to offer once enhanced grant funding opportunity for LPGA*USGA Girls Golf Sites.

To be considered for the following grant funds, each Site must exhibit a specific financial need, subject to the LPGA Foundation’s sole and absolute discretion and approval. The LPGA Foundation may approve the total or partial amount of funds requested on the application based on availability of funds. Grant funds are limited and not guaranteed.

If selected, an LPGA*USGA Girls Golf Program demonstrating financial need can utilize the grant funding for the following but not limited to:
