National Alliance for Accessible Golf
The National Alliance for Accessible Golf (Alliance) is an organization working to ensure the opportunity for all individuals with disabilities to play the game of golf. Formed in the summer of 2001, the Alliance is represented by major golf organizations in the United States including CMAA, organizations that provide services for people with disabilities and others who advocate for the inclusion of people with disabilities into society. The mission of the Alliance is to increase participation of people with disabilities in the game of golf. Through the game of golf, individuals with disabilities become actively engaged in the social fabric of a community, and derive health benefits that improve quality of life. In 2010, the Alliance and the USGA formed a grant-making partnership to advance opportunities for individuals with disabilities through the game of golf. This partnership is a component of the USGA's "For the Good of the Game" Grants Initiative, which has contributed more than $5 million since 1997 to programs that serve individuals with disabilities. USGA funds make these grants possible and the Alliance administers the grant making process.

We Are Golf
Created and led by the Club Managers Association of America, the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, the National Golf Course Owners Association and The PGA of America, WE ARE GOLF is a new coalition formed to tell the true story of golf. Not just the game, but the stories of the hardworking men and women who make it the greatest sport in the world and whose livelihoods depend on it. It is these accounts that affirm the continued health and growth of the golf industry that is vital to thousands of communities across the country and instrumental in enhancing the lives of millions of Americans. By showcasing golf’s diverse businesses and their employees, the tax revenues it creates, the tourism it spawns, the charity it generates and the environmental benefits it provides, WE ARE GOLF is leveling the playing field for the thousands of small businesses that make up the industry and depend on the sport for their success.
