As the charity organization of The American Express®, the Impact Through Golf Foundation selects their annual beneficiaries through a carefully administered review process. Please note, during the 2025 grant cycle, the Foundation will continue to prioritize larger levels of support to a smaller number of local organizations. We regret that we may not be able to continue our support for organizations that have previously received funding through this grant program. We encourage applicants to focus their applications on large-scale projects or multi-year initiatives that meet the criteria listed, as well as joint programming proposals with other local like-minded organizations. We look forward to continuing our long history of support for non-profits serving the Coachella Valley.
