NCGA Foundation Junior Girls Grant Program

Have you heard about the NCGA Foundation Junior Girls Grant Program?

The NCGA Foundation Junior Girls Grant Program awards grants of up to $1,000 to support junior girls’ golf programs across Northern California—helping young athletes grow, compete and thrive. Funding is especially critical at the high school level, where girls’ golf programs often operate with limited resources.

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

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 touched many.

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.
