Community Impact Program

#TeamUp for the Great Lakes Bay Region

#TeamUp for the Great Lakes Bay Region grant program applications are now closed for 2024.

The Dow Championship remains committed to donating to charities across the Great Lakes Bay Region and has awarded more than $2 million to local nonprofits since its inception in 2019.

All 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations in the Great Lakes Bay Region have the opportunity to be a part of the #TeamUp grant program. Each year, seven organizations are selected across each of the region’s counties (Saginaw, Bay, Midland and Isabella). An additional eight nonprofits are also selected based on the services they provide on a regional level.

Nonprofits will be chosen based on their organization’s impact on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education; sustainability; inclusion, diversity, and equity (ID&E); community resiliency; and/or innovation. Once selected, each of the 36 nonprofits will be paired randomly with one of the 72 teams competing in the 2024 Dow Championship LPGA tournament. A total of $237,000 will be donated through this program, with each selected nonprofit guaranteed to receive at least a $4,500 grant. Additional grant opportunities will be announced at a later date.
