Help Kids and Teens Build What Lasts
A gift to First Tee - West Michigan helps kids and teens build confidence, resilience, respect, and responsibility through the game of golf. Some donors give because they believe every child deserves safe mentors and positive opportunities. Others give because they love the game and want cost to never be the reason a student misses out. Your support provides scholarships, coaches, curriculum, equipment, golf access, and supplies for students across West Michigan.
You can choose to direct your support to our Grand Rapids, Muskegon, Holland, or Kalamazoo programs, or you can select the area of greatest need.
Gifts can be made by credit card, check, Donor Advised Fund, Qualified Charitable Distribution, stock gift, or planned gift.
First Tee - West Michigan is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and a DBA of Lake Michigan Junior Golf Association.
Our EIN, also known as our Tax ID Number, is 20-3856394.
