About
The Foundation is now the means by which funds raised through the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship are disbursed to charitable causes, and where decisions are taken by the Trustees about where grants can do most good.
This to a large extent reflects the DNA of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship which traditionally contains one of the most international fields in championship golf and is the only significant golfing event staged every year at St Andrews, the Home of Golf.
The areas of particular interest, fostered by the Foundation at the moment, include:
- The development of amateur golf in Scotland and South Africa
- The preservation of the historic town of St Andrews
- Support for the University of St Andrews
- Support of charities with a link to St Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns
The grants are allocated by a Board of Trustees.
The Foundation encourages charities who fall within the areas of interest noted above to apply for grants. All relevant applications will be considered. For more information go to the Applications Page.
