GCSAA features disaster relief fund amid Hurricane Helene tragedy

In 2006, in reaction to Hurricane Katrina, the association established the GCSAA Disaster Relief Fund to assist GCSAA members who suffered personal loss. The fund has continued to be a resource for members who face tragedy caused by natural disasters.

Donations made to the fund are an opportunity for those in the golf industry to directly assist their peers. The fund is administered through GCSAA’s philanthropic organization, the GCSAA Foundation. The Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization, and gifts are tax-deductible. Your tax adviser can provide you with information specific to your gift. Be assured that 100 percent of your donation to the Disaster Relief Fund goes to impacted members.

Disaster relief

Whether from hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding or wildfires, GCSAA and the the GCSAA Foundation have established a relief effort for victims. This effort will focus on providing support directly to the GCSAA members who suffer personal loss due to disasters.

GCSAA will provide financial assistance of up to $2,000 to members who contact the association (via phone or email) and whose daily lives are altered by the effects of the natural disaster and meet any of the following criteria:

• Have had to relocate/evacuate (whether they are staying with family, friends or in a motel) from their homes.
• Remain in their homes, but lose basic necessities such as electricity, water, etc., which lead to unexpected financial burden.

If you are a member who has been personally impacted, please call 800-472-7878 or email membership.help@gcsaa.org.
