LINCOLN, NE. – GolfStatus, Dormie Network, and Dormie Network Foundation are still accepting submissions for Play It Forward through the end of the month. This annual campaign celebrates nonprofit organizations that leverage the game of golf to create a meaningful impact and advance their missions. One outstanding charity golf event will be selected to receive a $10,000 donation.
Supporters are invited to nominate their favorite charity golf tournament on or before September 30, 2025. Nominations are open to everyone, including organizers, participants, sponsors, volunteers, or fans of the event or charity. Submissions should include a clear and compelling explanation of why the tournament deserves recognition, the cause it supports, and why it should be awarded the $10,000 donation. The selection committee will review all nominations and use this information to determine the deserving recipient, which will be announced on Giving Tuesday (December 2, 2025).
While submissions for Play it Forward end soon, Dormie Network Foundation works year-round to leverage the allure and prestige of golf to enable impactful fundraising. Between in-kind donations, cash grants, and other partnerships, Dormie Network Foundation is serious about helping nonprofits reach their fundraising goals and make a positive impact.
