Birdies for Charity
BIRDIES FOR CHARITY PROGRAM SPONSOR
BIRDIES FOR CHARITY PRESENTED BY TOWNEBANK
Birdies for Charity presented by TowneBank is a fundraising platform, operating in conjunction with the Dominion Energy Charity Classic, that enables charitable organizations in the state of Virginia to receive a 10% bonus on charitable contributions. Participating charities will receive all gifts collected on their behalf, minus credit card fees, plus the additional 10% in one payment distribution at the end of the calendar year via ACH direct deposit.
Please note that for 2025, PGA TOUR Charities will be making one payout to participating organizations instead of three as done in previous years. The payment will occur in December. With the increasing popularity of the Birdies for Charity platform and the growing number of tournaments on tour executing the program, PGA TOUR Charities does not have the ability to distribute multiple payouts for each tournament. Realizing this represents a significant change, making this announcement now allows the DECC to run the program on the same timeline as in years past, and should enable participating organizations to plan accordingly regarding campaigns and cash flow.
The 2025 program will be open from Wednesday, May 1 through Sunday, October 19. Any 501(c)(3) charitable entity in the state of Virginia, is eligible to participate and is required to submit the online registration form. The form is posted below under “Participation Information”. Once organizations have submitted their application, they will receive a confirmation email of approval within one-five business days and will then be able to solicit donations throughout the program timeline. The 2025 Birdies for Charity program will close on Sunday, October 19. Donations will not be accepted after midnight.
