What American Golf Foundation does
Mission
American Golf Foundation is dedicated to the enhancement and enrichment of communities by promoting the enjoyment of the game of golf and its ideals through charity, education and community service.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The Foundation works with municipal, resort and daily fee golf courses across the country to actively support a wide spectrum of worthy local and national non-profit organizations that make a difference in local communities. The Foundation mobilized a dedicated team of volunteer Ambassadors at host golf courses. Ambassadors donate their time, energy, skills and knowledge to conduct fundraising activities, participate in community outreach programs, educate guests on proper golf course etiquette, rules and safety, and help make the game of golf accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds.The Foundation's flagship Adopt-A-Charity program is a grass roots vehicle for local fundraising in which each participating golf course establishes a partnership with a local non-profit organization and organizes a charity golf tournament or other fundraising event for its benefit. In addition to Adopt-A-Charity partnerships, the American Golf Foundation aligns itself with and actively supports a variety of charitable efforts both nationally and in local communities.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $262k to $168k (−36%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
100% of American Golf Foundation’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (54% for the typical peer).

From the IRS filings of American Golf Foundation’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

American Golf Foundation draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $167 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
