Case Study

Foundation Leverages Golf to Raise $90,000 to Support Local Public Schools

Every one of the 35 schools in the Millard Public Schools district has benefited in one way or another from the Millard Public Schools Foundation. The Foundation gives roughly $1 million back to schools each year for programs like after school childcare, advanced placement scholarships, food pantries, support for families in need, and much more.

One way the Foundation drives revenue is through an annual golf fundraiser, which has taken place for more than 30 years. The tournament has grown steadily and regularly grosses over $90,000. Because the tournament planning team changes every year, and the event is a significant investment of committee members' time, organizers keep an eye out for ways to streamline the tournament.
