The TGA Foundation has announced it is now accepting applications for Project Muni 2025 grants.
Now entering its third year, Project Muni was created to grant funds to assist member club municipal facilities across the state with implementing new agronomy projects and practices, particularly those designed to improve course conditions, enhance the playing experience, or make the game more accessible for all backgrounds and abilities.
Since its inception in 2023, Project Muni has awarded a total of $175,000 across 33 municipal facilities, with $100,000 directed towards 17 facilities in 2024. Building on the momentum over the past two years, the grant funding available for 2025 has been increased to $135,000.
“Project Muni grants have had a significant impact for numerous facilities thus far and we are committed to investing even more to help support and strengthen the municipal golf course community in Texas,” said Kelly Kilgo, Managing Director of Outreach/TGA Foundation. “This grant program can be a great outside resource for assistance in funding a wide range of improvement projects, and facilities of all sizes are encouraged to apply.”
The Project Muni Grant Program is dedicated to investing in municipal courses so they can overcome budgetary challenges and move forward with proposed agronomy improvement plans and practices. The two-part grant funding program provides: 1) fund grants for every municipal facility to cover the cost of a USGA Course Consulting Service (CCS) once every 5 years and 2) matching fund grants (up to $10,000) to a facility wanting to implement CCS recommendations or to make other improvements that will support sustainability, enhance player experience, or make the game more accessible.
To be eligible for the grant program, municipal facilities must be a current member club in good standing of the TGA. The Project Muni Grant Program is funded by the TGA and administered by the TGA Foundation.
