About Dormie Network Foundation

Creating Partnerships to Cultivate Community Success

The game of golf has long held an allure—its scenic fairways, storied traditions, and the rare luxury of uninterrupted time. It is a catalyst for connection, a setting where relationships are strengthened, trust is built, and generosity follows. From the first tee to the final putt, the game creates moments that linger well beyond the scorecard.

Our Mission

At the heart of Dormie Network is a profound dedication to enriching communities and empowering nonprofit organizations through the timeless game of golf. From Dormie Network's inception, philanthropy has been more than an initiative; it is the core of who we are, aspiring to make a tangible difference.

Founded in 2020 as the philanthropic arm of Dormie Network, Dormie Network Foundation (DNF) leverages our national network of private golf clubs to amplify nonprofits' fundraising efforts. As a 501(c)(3), Dormie Network Foundation supports nonprofits nationwide with two initiatives: in-kind donations and direct cash grants. We seek to build long-term partnerships that help organizations expand their reach, deepen their impact, and create unparalleled fundraising opportunities.

“Dormie Network’s generosity has made a true impact. The auction items have increased overall audience appeal and total revenue of our event auctions, which is great, because funds raised directly impact the lives of individuals and families impacted by autism worldwide.”

“The unbelievable financial impact we have realized as a result of the generous contributions the Dormie Network Foundation made is beyond belief and has set a very high bar. To be associated with the Dormie Network significantly enhances our credibility to our donors, and their mindset and commitment to support is very welcome.”

“Donations like the in-kind from Dormie Network allow us to feed even more kids in the communities we support. Many of these communities don’t have the capacity to fundraise on their own, so high-value packages like these Stay and Plays as well as the donated memberships to Dormie Network help spread awareness of our cause and ensure we can keep growing the program.”
