Our charities

The organizations we fund

A share of every Caring Hearts Classic goes out as grants to local organizations already doing the work well. We fund them, volunteer with them, and send families their way.

Partner network

Nineteen partners, one service area

Each partner receives an annual grant funded by the tournament, volunteer hours, and a direct referral line into our intake team. Replace these with your real partners.

Food security

Serves roughly 900 households a month with fresh produce, shelf stable staples, and a weekend backpack program for students.

Our support: annual operating grant, monthly volunteer shifts, and holiday meal box funding.

Help us help others

Play, sponsor, or give. All three end up in the same place.

Every entry fee, every hole sign, and every donation goes into the same pot: scholarships for local students and emergency help for families down the street.
