GCSAA Foundation’s Giving Tuesday to be held Nov. 28

The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) asks for donations for the GCSAA Foundation’s Giving Tuesday on Nov. 28.

According to the foundation, donations will fund innovation through research, help potential and current golf course professionals pursue their dreams and ensure the future of golf through advocacy and outreach efforts.

This year, the Foundation, with the help of industry partners, provided 85 individuals with various scholarships, including those for turfgrass students and children of GCSAA members. There are also four professional development programs available to help current GCSAA members expand their knowledge base and build leadership skills.

Another fund administered through the GCSAA Foundation is the Disaster Relief Fund, established in 2006 in reaction to Hurricane Katrina to assist members who suffered personal loss. The Disaster Relief Fund continues to be a resource for members who face tragedy caused by natural disasters.

The GCSAA Foundation offers a monthly e-newsletter, Beyond the Course, which includes a “Donor Corner” and a “GCSAA Foundation in Action” section that outlines the ways the Foundation is advancing its mission.
