Founded in April 2020 as a 501(c)(3), The Sawgrass Foundation is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes. The Foundation is dedicated to the support of the Sawgrass Country Club (“SCC”) staff and their families to include educational stipends, crisis relief assistance and other charitable opportunities to help our employees.
The Sawgrass Foundation benefits from SCC member contributions through individual donations and special events.
The Sawgrass Foundation will make distributions to employees of SCC and their families for purposes that qualify under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or the corresponding section of any future federal tax code including, but not limited to,
- Educational stipends for courses and degrees after high school from schools recognized by the U.S. Department of Labor as qualifying for the Federal Student Loan Program, see https://ope.ed.gov/dapip/#/home.
- Assistance during declared national crises or acute hardship situations where an SCC employee experiences economic or personal emergencies.
