Golf Matters
The R&A Foundation exists because golf matters; for the lives it changes and the future it can shape. Together, we can not only create good for golf but good through golf.

The R&A Foundation - 2023 Annual Review

Founded with a mission to reinvest proceeds from The Open into charitable initiatives, The R&A Foundation has built a platform for meaningful impact as the charitable arm of The R&A over the last two decades.  Our journey began with a dedication to the global development of the game and a desire to help more people around the world enjoy its benefits.
