Closing the Gap in Girls Golf

The NCGA Foundation Junior Girls Grant Program provides financial assistance to eligible junior girls’ golf programs throughout the region. Funding is especially critical at the high school level, where girls’ golf programs often operate with limited resources.

Our grants are designed to supplement existing programs—strengthening access, instruction, and competitive opportunities for young female athletes.

Building Opportunity Since 2002

Founded in 2002 through the commitment of the Pacific Women’s Golf Association and the Women’s Golf Association of Northern California, the program has grown tremendously.

To date:

  • $600,000+ awarded in grants
  • Hundreds of junior golfers supported
  • Programs strengthened throughout Northern California

This important work is made possible by the generosity of NCGA members and member clubs. Together, we are building a stronger foundation for the future of women’s golf.
