Tiger Woods Foundation
The Tiger Woods Foundation (TWF) focuses on providing opportunities to children who are underserved. Tiger Woods writes in his letter, "Through personal enrichment programs, scholarships, direct grants, junior golf clinics and the new Tiger Woods Learning Center, the Foundation is helping millions of children reach their dreams."
The average TWF grant range is between $2,500 and $25,000. They focus on the following areas of funding:
- Programs and projects that enhance the learning process for children.
- Transitional programs for young adults to become productive adults.
- Programs that enable children to have access to the necessities of life, prevent abuse and violence, and improve health and development.
- Projects should improve the delivery of services to children at greatest risk.
- Year-round mentoring and/or tutoring programs that help youth build self-esteem positive values, expand opportunities and increase their potential.
