What Your Support Means
The auction supports the NCGA Foundation and its Golf with a Purpose mission—using golf to grow the game, expand opportunity and positively impact lives through youth development, scholarships, community programs and preservation of our region’s golf legacy.
As a bonus, and in celebrating the NCGA’s 125th anniversary, the NCGA will match all auction proceeds and donations, dollar-for-dollar, up to $125,000, doubling the impact of the support received!

Our Initiatives
The NCGA embraces diversity and celebrates inclusivity
We know where golf has historically been and we know where it must go — toward a future grounded in diversity, respect, and inclusion. We reject racism and injustice. The NCGA is committed to our vision of ensuring golf is accessible and welcoming to all ages and identities, and all racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds.
We are proud of the diversity we see across our clubs. However, there is always more we can do to encourage inclusivity in the game we love. Though we don’t have all the answers today, we are diligently working on initiatives to help clubs and members find a welcoming golfing community.
