The USGA is committed to providing opportunities for personal development through golf and its values. To this end, the USGA launched an aggressive grant making program in 1997 to help organizations develop introductory golf programs and alternative golf facilities for youth from disadvantaged backgrounds, minority youth, girls and individuals with disabilities. Through 2007 the USGA has dedicated more than $59 million to positively impact hundreds of thousands of children and people with disabilities. Having provided more than $22 million to The First Tee and its Chapters, the USGA is the largest single financial supporter of The First Tee Network. The USGA is committed to this significant annual grants initiative through at least the end of this decade.

The USGA also instituted the Fellowship in Leadership and Service in 1997. This two-year program provides professional development opportunities for recent college graduates and instills in them a passion for volunteerism and philanthropy. The paramount experience of USGA Fellows comes through working as grants program staff members.
