The Wisconsin State Golf Association Foundation, Inc. was established in the Fall of 2005 and was granted tax-exempt status by the IRS as a Section 501 (c)(3). The Foundation was organized for charitable and educational purposes, primarily to preserve and promote the game of golf in Wisconsin and provide funds for such purposes. It is a charitable affiliate of the Wisconsin State Golf Association but has its own Board of Directors and officers.

During the last 14 years, over $1,000,000 has been raised to help the WSGA Foundation support high school golf through its grant program as well as launch Youth on Course, bringing $5 rounds of golf at participating courses to juniors in Wisconsin.

In 2024, 135 schools received $100,000 in WSGA Foundation funded grants and over 10,000 Youth on Course rounds were played by juniors in Wisconsin.

Donors are allowed to specify (donor restricted gifts) how their contributions can be used (as long as it complies with the Foundation’s purposes).

Since the inception of the Foundation contributions have come from various sources, primarily individuals who have opted to give back to the game that has enriched their lives in one form or another.
