our mission
GTM Golf Foundation for Kids, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is dedicated to honoring our nation’s Veterans and Active Military by supporting their Children. We believe that those who have served selflessly deserve more than recognition—they deserve to see their children thrive. Through the generosity of compassionate donors, we provide life-changing opportunities and experiences that would otherwise be out of reach, empowering these young people to grow, succeed, and build bright futures.
Who Do We Help?
In the first 18 months of operation, we have awarded grants totaling over $50,000. These funds have all gone to over 100 Children of Veterans to provide scholarships, educational opportunities and a host of otherwise unaffordable experiences. Many of these children have lost a veteran parent, have special needs, are cancer survivors or simply cannot access the opportunities we provide.
Our Foundation Board of Directors continues to meet with local community Veteran leaders to decide who in their area is most in need to receive these Grants. We have met and will continue to meet these kids and follow them to understand how their lives have benefitted from the experience we helped to provide. This will make a difference and set us apart.
our vision
Our Vision is to host golf tournaments to raise funds to fulfill our mission. In 2025, the Foundation held Golf Tournament Fundraisers at The Foundry Golf Club in Powhatan, VA and at The Cardinal Golf Club at Fort Lee, VA. For 2026, we plan to host tournaments at those same sites plus one other tournament in Virginia. We are also planning a tournament at Seabrook Island Club in Seabrook, South Carolina in the Spring of 2027
Our Background
GTM has managed over 500 Charity Golf Tournaments over the past 24 years. We have raised over $1,100,000 for worthy organizations. We have extensive experience in managing corporate and charitable golf tournaments since 2000. Golf is a great vehicle to bring corporations and individuals together to raise money for needy kids.
