Creating a World of Opportunities
Founded in 1996 by Tiger Woods, TGR Foundation believes everyone can be a champion for youth. With a commitment to a world where opportunity is universal and potential is limitless, TGR Foundation’s mission is to empower students to pursue their passions through education. Its signature programs serve youth from under-resourced communities, providing access to STEAM educational enrichment, career and college readiness, health and well-being programs.
“When I was a kid, my parents instilled a core principle in my life: try to make an impact in one person’s life, every day. At TGR Foundation, we are doing just that, making a meaningful impact on the lives of youth one day at a time.”
– Tiger Woods, Founder TGR Foundation
