What Is the Invited Clubs Foundation and How Does It Support Communities?

Updated

The Invited Clubs Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Invited Clubs, the private club portfolio behind invitedclubs.com. It supports the communities connected to Invited Clubs locations through scholarships, blood drives, veteran programs, local fundraisers, and a national event called the Crush It! Cup. Members and employees take part together, which is what makes the foundation's work a club-wide effort rather than a separate corporate program.

What the Foundation Does

According to Invited Clubs, the foundation exists to give back to the communities where its clubs operate. The stated programs fall into a few broad categories:

  • Scholarships — educational support tied to club communities
  • Blood drives — local collection events organized through clubs
  • Veteran programs — support directed at veterans
  • Local fundraisers — community-specific causes chosen at the club level
  • Crush It! Cup — a national event that brings members and employees together

The mix matters because it shows the foundation works on two levels: individual clubs address local needs, while the Crush It! Cup gives the whole network a shared moment.

Who Participates

Two groups drive the foundation's activity:

  1. Members — people who belong to one of the 150+ private clubs in the Invited Clubs portfolio
  2. Employees — staff at those clubs

Invited Clubs describes members and employees coming together to "make a difference," which suggests participation is built into club life rather than treated as an outside obligation.

How It Connects to the Wider Invited Clubs Network

The foundation is one part of a larger organization. Invited Clubs describes itself as a portfolio of private golf, country, and city clubs across major metropolitan and residential markets, with more than 300,000 members and 65+ years of experience. Each club is rooted in its local community but connected through a network that expands access and experiences for members.

That structure explains why a single foundation can operate nationally while still running local blood drives and fundraisers: the network provides scale, and the individual clubs provide the community ties.

Where to Learn More

Invited Clubs directs people to an "Explore the Invited Clubs Foundation" link from its main site, and separately maintains a newsroom for club highlights and announcements. If you want details on a specific program, eligibility for scholarships, or how to get involved at a particular club, the foundation page and your local club are the right starting points — the public overview describes the program areas but not the fine print of each one.
