Golf Fore Charity, Inc.

What Golf Fore Charity, Inc. does

Golf Fore Charity, Inc. is a Scottsdale, Arizona-based non-profit organization founded in 2019 that raises funds through charity golf tournaments to support local family, community, and children's organizations. The organization operates with a small team of 1-10 employees, suggesting a lean, event-driven operational structure rather than a broad, year-round programmatic footprint. Its stated mission is to direct proceeds from golf-related fundraising events toward family- and youth-focused charitable causes in its local market.

The organization runs its 2026 Golf Fore Charity Event using the Golf Genius Tournament Management software platform, evidenced by event pages hosted on golfgenius.com that include sections for event information, sponsorship opportunities, pairings/tee sheets, players, and tournament results. Steven Stensrud serves as Event Manager, handling participant inquiries and event coordination via [email protected]. The event site exposes standard tournament-management functions such as sign-in, pairings, results, and sponsorship tiers, indicating that Golf Fore Charity relies on a SaaS vendor for event operations rather than proprietary technology infrastructure.

The business model is consistent with a small community non-profit: revenue is generated through event sponsorships, participant registrations, and donations, with proceeds directed to local beneficiary organizations. No financial figures, donor counts, beneficiary details, or program metrics are disclosed in the available source material, which prevents any triangulation of fundraising scale. As a private non-profit, the organization has no public funding rounds, ownership disclosures, or financial filings available in the source set.

Direct peers

• Hook a Kid on Golf: Nonprofit focused on introducing children to golf through school and community programs. Comparable in child-focused community mission and reliance on golf as the engagement mechanism.
• Golf Fights Cancer: Charity that turns golf events into funding for cancer research and patient support. Comparable as a peer nonprofit that raises funds via charity golf tournaments to benefit specific beneficiary causes.
• PGA REACH: Charitable arm of the PGA of America that runs programs for youth, military, and diverse communities. Comparable because it is a golf-anchored nonprofit supporting family and community causes, with national reach and tournament-driven fundraising.
• The First Tee: National nonprofit that introduces young people to golf and life skills. Most directly comparable peer because it is a similarly structured nonprofit using golf as the vehicle to deliver community and youth-focused social impact.
• Birdies for Charity (Korn Ferry Tour): PGA Tour-affiliated program that enables charities to fundraise through professional golf tournaments. Comparable as a tournament-linked charity fundraising mechanism, though it leverages existing Tour events rather than running its own.
• Youth on Course: Nonprofit providing affordable golf access to youth members. Comparable in mission (children/family access through golf) and in reliance on the broader golf ecosystem for delivery.

Broad incumbents

• Drive, Chip & Putt National Finals: Joint youth golf development initiative of the USGA, PGA of America, and The Masters. Comparable because it is a marquee, golf-anchored initiative serving youth golfers and family audiences, though much larger in scale.
• National Golf Foundation: Largest US golf industry trade organization. Comparable as a broad nonprofit operating in the golf ecosystem and supporting participation, though its scope is industry-wide rather than event-specific charity fundraising.
