Our Mission
The JD Cline Foundation has been formed to provide high performance golf equipment to young golfers that otherwise would not be able to afford the appropriate equipment. The foundation also funds golf instruction and travel to junior golf tournaments.
Grant Requests- The foundation will accept grant requests for individual golfers directly from the golfer or a supplier of clubs to the golfer on behalf of the golfer. Qualified golfers will be under the age of 18 or 24 if attending a university.
Funding Grants -The foundation board will review grant requests and if approved will pay invoices to club manufactures who will then deliver the clubs to the golfer.
Fundraising – Initial fundraising is direct asks to individuals who want to make contributions to the foundation to further its goals to provide clubs to young emerging golfers. Fundraising is currently planned to occur in Washington State.
