Women In Golf Foundation

What Women In Golf Foundation does

Women In Golf Foundation, Inc. (WIGF) is a Georgia-based nonprofit foundation, founded circa 1995 and headquartered at a P.O. Box address in Atlanta, that develops golf, mentorship, and leadership programs for girls, collegiate athletes, and executive women across the U.S. Southeast. The foundation operates three core program pillars: Youth Programs providing golf skill-building and mentorship for middle and high school girls; the National Collegiate Golf Championship, a 30-year-running annual competition (with Howard University winning the 30th edition in 2025); and Executive Events & Mentorship connecting professional women to leadership development and networking within the golf community. Supplementing these pillars are seasonal programs and tournaments including the Precision & Power Summer Camp, the Girls Golf Clinic Summer Series at Sugar Creek Golf Course, the Atlanta Girls Cup, and the Alexis Belton Girls Tradition at Eagles Landing Country Club.

The foundation delivers its services through in-person events at partner courses, direct website registration, email/newsletter outreach, and social media, with no proprietary technology platform. It serves three clearly defined persona segments — Juniors, College Athletes, and Executive Women — and positions itself around inclusivity, mentorship, and creating a legacy where girls and women can use golf to thrive and lead.

As a private nonprofit corporation, WIGF is funded through donations, sponsorships, and program/event fees rather than product revenue; no financial figures are publicly disclosed beyond a linked 2025 Annual Report PDF. The organization operates regionally with a primary footprint in the Atlanta/Southeast corridor, with limited but emerging outreach signals such as a Houston Community Open House in 2025. Notable operational partnerships include appearances at the PGA TOUR Superstore Leadership Academy and recurring venue relationships with Sugar Creek Golf Course and Eagles Landing Country Club.

Regional players

• The First Tee of Atlanta: Metro Atlanta chapter of The First Tee, offering youth golf instruction and life-skills programming in the same geographic market as WIGF. Comparable as a peer organization in the same city and segment, competing for the same junior participants and venue partners.

Direct peers

• PGA of America REACH Foundation: Charitable foundation of the PGA of America supporting youth golf, military veterans, and inclusion initiatives. Comparable to WIGF in running youth golf programming, though it operates nationally and spans broader demographics than WIGF's girls-and-women focus.
• ANNIKA Foundation: Annika Sorenstam's nonprofit running junior golf events, clinics, and scholarship programs for girls. Directly comparable to WIGF's Atlanta Girls Cup, Alexis Belton Girls Tradition, and youth instruction offerings, with a similar event-driven girls-golf-development model.
• The First Tee: National youth golf development nonprofit offering instructional programs and life-skill curricula for young people, often in partnership with golf courses. Comparable to WIGF because both run junior-focused golf programming and tournaments, though The First Tee operates at national scale and is co-branded with the PGA.
• EWGA (Executive Women's Golf Association): Organization connecting executive and professional women through golf, networking, and mentorship — now integrated into the LPGA. Directly comparable to WIGF's Executive Events & Mentorship program, with overlap in target persona (professional women seeking golf access for business and leadership).
• LPGA Foundation: The charitable arm of the LPGA, focused on growing women's and girls' golf through scholarships, grants, and developmental programs. Closest comparable to WIGF in mission — empowering girls and women through golf — but with substantially larger corporate backing, national reach, and brand recognition.

Broad incumbents

• USGA Foundation: Charitable arm of the United States Golf Association funding inclusion, accessibility, and youth development in golf. Comparable as a governing-body-affiliated nonprofit in the same sport, but with vastly larger scope, funding, and event IP than WIGF's regional operation.
