Return Reference Explanation
SCHEDULE I, PART IV THE USGA PROVIDES GRANTS TO FURTHER ITS MISSION TO CHAMPION AND ADVANCE THE GAME. MANY OF THESE PROGRAMS SUPPORT JUNIORS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES THROUGH LOCAL CHAPTER GRANTS THROUGH A NATIONAL ASSOCIATION. THE USGA ALSO PROVIDES GRANTS TO STATE AND REGIONAL ASSOCIATIONS TO FINANCE PAID INTERNSHIPS FOR THOSE WHO ARE PURSUING A CAREER IN GOLF ADMINISTRATION. THE USGA PROVIDES GRANTS TO COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES TO FINANCE TURFGRASS RESEARCH AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH THAT MAY BENEFIT GOLF COURSES IN REDUCING CONSUMPTION OF KEY RESOURCES SUCH AS WATER AND MANAGING COSTS RELATED TO LABOR AND TURF MAINTENANCE. IN ALL CASES, STAFF MEMBERS MONITOR THE USE OF FUNDS TO ENSURE THAT THE GRANTS ARE SPENT FOR THE PROPER PURPOSES AND ARE NOT OTHERWISE DIVERTED FROM INTENDED USE. IN SOME CASES, A THOROUGH APPLICATION MUST BE SUBMITTED IN ORDER TO RECEIVE CONSIDERATION FOR FUNDING. MONITORING NORMALLY INCLUDES FORMAL PERIODIC REPORTS FROM THE RECIPIENT ORGANIZATION, DETAILING PROGRAM PROGRESS AND USE OF FUNDS. MONITORING CAN ALSO INCLUDE INFORMAL REPORTS, DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF THE GRANT AND THE ORGANIZATION IT WAS DISTRIBUTED TO. FOR EXAMPLE, GRANTS DISTRIBUTED TO PROGRAMS FOR JUNIORS TYPICALLY REQUIRE THE RECIPIENT ORGANIZATION TO COMPLETE A FORMAL ASSESSMENT REPORT THAT INCLUDES INFORMATION ABOUT PROGRAM OUTCOMES, FINANCIAL COMPLIANCE, PARTICIPANT STATISTICS, PROGRAM SCHEDULE, INSTRUCTION PROVIDED, AND FOLLOW-UP SUPPORT. SUCH INFORMATION IS SUBJECT TO AUDIT, AT THE USGA'S SOLE DISCRETION. IN ALL CASES, UNSPENT FUNDS MUST BE RETURNED TO USGA. GRANTS TO STATE AND REGIONAL ASSOCIATIONS FOR GOLF ADMINISTRATION INTERNSHIPS TYPICALLY REQUIRE THE RECIPIENT ORGANIZATION TO COMPLETE A REPORT DESCRIBING THE INTERNSHIP ACTIVITIES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND ACCOUNT FOR ALL INTERNSHIP SALARY PAYMENTS. ADDITIONALLY, THE INTERN IS ASKED TO COMPLETE AN EVALUATION ON THE INTERNSHIP RESPONSIBILITIES AND CONFIRM THE DURATION OF THEIR EMPLOYMENT. UNSPENT FUNDS RELATED TO INTERNSHIPS MUST BE RETURNED TO THE USGA. GRANTS TO COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES FOR TURFGRASS AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH TYPICALLY REQUIRE THE RECIPIENT ORGANIZATION TO COMPLETE A REPORT DESCRIBING IN DETAIL THE RESULTS OF THE RESEARCH AND ACCOUNT FOR ALL FUNDS SPENT. UNSPENT FUNDS MUST BE RETURNED TO USGA. THE U.S. NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM GRANT IS DESIGNED TO MITIGATE BARRIERS OF COST TO PROMISING JUNIOR GOLFERS BETWEEN 13-18 YEARS OLD WHO DEMONSTRATE BOTH FINANCIAL NEED AND THE POTENTIAL TO PROGRESS THROUGH THE USNDP PATHWAY. GRANTS ARE AWARDED BASED ON FINANCIAL NEED PARAMETERS DETERMINED BY THE USGA AND A PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT THAT CONSIDERS SCORES, RANKINGS, IMPROVEMENT TRENDS, ATHLETICISM, REFERENCES, AND VIDEO EVALUATION.

FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 THE UNITED STATES GOLF ASSOCIATION'S MISSION IS TO CHAMPION AND ADVANCE THE GAME OF GOLF, AND ITS PURPOSE IS EMBEDDED INTO EACH OF THE FOUR LETTERS OF OUR NAME. AS GOLF'S STEWARD AND GOVERNING BODY IN AMERICA, OUR INITIALS U (UNIFY) S (SHOWCASE) G (GOVERN) A (ADVANCE) CAN BE USED TO COMMUNICATE THE ROLE THE USGA PLAYS AND THE GOOD WE DO FOR THE GAME. WE UNIFY THE GAME BY CREATING AN EQUAL PLAYING FIELD THROUGH THE WORLD HANDICAP SYSTEM, COURSE RATING SYSTEM AND GHIN, ENSURING THAT PLAYERS OF ALL AGES, ABILITIES AND BACKGROUNDS CAN ENJOY THE GAME TOGETHER. WE UNIFY GOLFERS AND GOLF COURSES THROUGH OUR NATION-WIDE ALLIED GOLF ASSOCIATION (AGA) NETWORK. TOGETHER, WE BUILD TRUSTED RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE GLOBAL GAME AROUND COMMON PURPOSES THAT ENSURE A BETTER FUTURE FOR GOLF (GROWING THE GAME, BUILDING CAREER PIPELINES, FOSTERING AN OPEN CULTURE AND DRIVING ADOPTION OF SUSTAINABILITY BEST PRACTICES). WE SHOWCASE AND CELEBRATE THE BEST PLAYERS IN THE WORLD BY PROVIDING THEM THE STAGE TO ACHIEVE THEIR DREAMS - ALL AGES, INDIVIDUALS, AND TEAMS ALIKE. WE SHOWCASE HOW "OPEN" GOLF CAN BE, VIA A TRULY OPEN APPROACH TO CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFIERS THAT ARE A TRUE MERITOCRACY, WHERE SUCCESS IS DETERMINED SOLELY BY HOW WELL YOU PLAY. WE HOST 15 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS IN AMERICA, SHOWCASING THE NATION'S BEST COURSES AND WELCOMING THE GLOBAL GOLF COMMUNITY TO PARTICIPATE, INCLUDING THE U.S. ADAPTIVE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP, ADDED IN 2022 FOR GOLFERS WITH DISABILITIES. WE GOVERN WITH A FOCUS ON THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE GAME LONG-TERM, WITHOUT BIAS, PROVIDING A STRONG FRAMEWORK ON WHICH THE GAME CAN BE PLAYED BY ALL. WE GOVERN THE GAME THROUGH A CLEARLY DEFINED SET OF PLAYING, AMATEUR STATUS, HANDICAPPING AND EQUIPMENT RULES TO PROMOTE AND ENSURE FAIR PLAY. TRANSPARENCY, INCLUSION AND EDUCATION ARE IMPORTANT TENETS OF OUR GOVERNANCE ROLE. WE ADVANCE THE GAME TO ENABLE A FUTURE THAT IS EVEN BETTER THAN THE GAME WE PLAY TODAY. THIS MEANS ENSURING THAT ALL GOLFERS HAVE ACCESS AND FEEL WELCOME. THIS STARTS WITH JUNIORS AND CONTINUES THROUGH A GOLFER'S LIFETIME JOURNEY IN THE GAME. WE'RE PASSIONATELY PURSUING BETTER ON-COURSE PLAYING CONDITIONS THROUGH OUR EXPERT AGRONOMY TEAM, THE USGA GREEN SECTION, WHILE ADVANCING RESEARCH AND SCIENCE TO ENSURE GOLF COURSES ARE ENVIRONMENTALLY AND ECONOMICALLY SUSTAINABLE.
