2025 Golf Fundraising Trends and Predictions
The Gauntlet Charity Golf Tournament at Victoria National
As we look forward to an exciting 2025, golf fundraising events continue to grow in popularity as powerful tools for nonprofits.
Dormie Network Foundation is thrilled to share a valuable opportunity with our nonprofit community.
We teamed up with our friends at GolfStatus, the leading event management platform for charity golf tournaments and fundraisers, for a free webinar that dives into the latest trends shaping golf fundraising in 2025. Whether you're a nonprofit leader, event planner, or fundraising professional, this session will help your organization stay ahead of the curve and tee up your most successful fundraising year ever.
Ben Parker, our Director of Philanthropy, joined the webinar panel to discuss strategies for boosting participation, securing sponsorships, and increasing revenue while adapting to changing golfer expectations and nonprofit needs.
Ben's career spans a wide range of high-profile golf events, including corporate, made-for-television, a national competitive charity series, ultra-exclusive private charity golf, a national fundraising campaign with Jack and Barbara Nicklaus, and title sponsorship events on the PGA TOUR. Since joining Dormie Network Foundation in 2022, Ben has helped nonprofit partners raise money for their mission by connecting them with generous supporters, sharing best practices, and providing strategic outside-of-the-box thinking with donors, executives, nonprofits, and event managers.
