The Ashgrove Golf Club Future Fund is a dedicated initiative designed to receive donations and bequests from our members, ensuring that our club continues to thrive for generations to come. This fund is expertly managed and invested, allowing it to grow over time. The accumulated funds are used for large-scale, intergenerational projects that are crucial for the long-term success and development of the club.
Why Establish a Future Fund?
For many of our members, Ashgrove Golf Club is more than just a place to play golf; it’s a community and a cherished part of their lives. Over the years, the club has provided countless hours of enjoyment, physical activity, and social connection. Membership at Ashgrove offers a sense of belonging and deep joy, which many of our members value highly.
The club's continued success is largely due to the generosity of our members—through event sponsorships, voluntary work, and the passion that drives our community. The Future Fund offers another avenue for those who want to give back and ensure that future generations can experience the same joy and camaraderie that they have enjoyed.
The Future Fund allows members to contribute financially, whether through living donations or bequests, to ensure that Ashgrove Golf Club remains a vibrant and thriving community for years to come.
How to Make a Donation?
There are several ways to contribute to the Ashgrove Golf Club Future Fund, and donations of any amount are greatly appreciated:

Anonymous Donations: Donors have the option to remain anonymous if they wish.
Recognition: We offer recognition to donors according to their wishes, as a way of honoring their contributions.

The Future Fund is overseen by Ashgrove Golf Club's Board of Directors. Their role is to ensure that the fund is invested wisely and that all projects funded by it align with the long-term vision for the club.
How Does the Future Fund Work?
In addition to donations from members, the Ashgrove Golf Club Board commits to making regular contributions to the Future Fund to accelerate its growth. The fund is carefully invested and accounted for separately, ensuring it is safeguarded for future use on significant, intergenerational projects.
Once the fund reaches a critical mass, or by a set date, the Board will propose projects that align with the club's vision for the future. All projects funded by the Future Fund require approval from the membership, ensuring that these initiatives reflect the collective goals of our community.
Securing a Bright Future for Ashgrove Golf Club
The Future Fund is a visionary approach to undertaking large, high-cost projects without disrupting the club’s regular operations. By planning for the future, we can continue to enhance our facilities, maintain our standing in the community, and ensure that Ashgrove Golf Club remains a premier destination for golf and social engagement.
