The FairWays Foundation completes third grant cycle

The FairWays Foundation, which was founded in 2019, announced it has completed its third grant cycle, bringing the total funding to $441,791 since its inception with 29 projects supported across the United States, Canada and United Kingdom.gol

The FairWays Foundation is a standalone 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting and promoting conservation and stewardship within the turf industry and beyond. The foundation supports conservation-based projects both big and small by granting funds to successful applicants globally.

Twelve projects receiving a total of $169,000 in grants have been funded in the 2022 cycle. The grant committee and board were delighted to review a diverse array of projects, including a Great Salt Lake Field Trip program, the expansion of previously supported Irvine to Girvan Nectar Network, an on-course vegetable garden to serve the golf club restaurant, the installation of bat boxes, restoring an agricultural field to prairie, phragmites removal, canal bank restoration and more.

“We understand making a difference locally takes tremendous grit from a local champion,” said Matt Foster, CEO and president of Aquatrols and president of The FairWayFoundation. “It might be a greenkeeper or parks manager or a program volunteer. Regardless, without their will, these projects would never move forward. Our message to those individuals out there with a wish for a healthier environment is The Fairways Foundation can help with the way to get there.”
