Fundraising

98. Is your chapter interested in learning more about working collaboratively with HQ on major gift fundraising which includes Trustee ($1M+) and Impact Society ($100k+) donor cultivation? This includes working to identify major gift donors, identifying how to link to prospective donors and developing and following through on agreed upon action plans. Yes (Skip to #100) - 81; 57% No - 18; 13% Already work collaboratively with HQ (Skip to #100) - 42; 30%

99. Why wouldn’t you be interested in working with HQ on collaborative major gift fundraising? 41

Reason:

 Already work with them  At this time, there has been little to no interest locally in supporting The First Tee on a bigger scale. Donors here are hyper focused on their impact locally.  Because the Home Office does not now and has never tried to understand small non-PGA TOUR markets and probably never will. So why waste the time?  Board members are working on major gifts  Chapter in process of merging with another Chapter  Donor cultivation is a relationship process. Being 3 years and having few major gift donors identified/stewarded, I think we would be interested in engaging more high level donors later on down the line.  In the future, not in 2019  Prefer to fund raise at the local level  Since we are a multi-purpose facility, we already have a full-time team in place to pursue those options.  Split of funds raised  The individuals in our area who have means to make major gifts have told us they would rather 100% of their donations remain local and would rather work with our chapter directly.  There is only one opportunity in our area and they already support us.  Time constraints and limited staff  We are small.  We have a great donor base who likes to know that their dollars stay with tour chapter. If we find the donor, we would like the money to stay here. If the collaborative effort is aimed at HQ working with national donors (big box stores, food chains) to make a day of giving (to The First Tee) where the money from a store in a specific region or area goes to the local chapter(s), but The First Tee HQ made it happen with their HQ...then yes, we would consider working with HQ.  We have tried a few times in the past 8 years and have not succeeded.  We may be interested a year or two down the road, but we are in the middle of a $6 million capital campaign in conjunction with the Boys & Girls Clubs and we are focusing our efforts on the process which has been very successful to date

100. What is your chapter’s average gift size (excluding funding from HQ)? Average gift size = Total Gifts divided by Total Donors. Average gift size average ($): $1,693

101. What has been your chapter’s largest gift (excluding funding from HQ)? Largest gift amount average ($): $138,921

133. How can The First Tee HQ better support your PR efforts? Please select your biggest need: Press Releases (drafting and/or providing more templates) - 25; 18% Provide Media List - 14; 10% Pitching Media - 28; 20% Creating a PR Strategy - 53; 38% Other (please specify) - 21; 15%  A combination of all the factors listed above would be helpful. Many are already being done but specifically helping us "pitch" the local media may be beneficial.  Advertise outside of the Golf World.. Target advertising towards mothers and kids!  All of the above  ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!  All PR opportunities are handled by the East Lake Foundation  Benefits of our program nationally...  Brand Management of multiple logos  "connecting us to other chapters with like needs  willingness to connect chapters with interested funders known to the HQ"  Due to pending merger nothing at this time  Get us onto MAINSTREAM media as much as possible---not golf channel. Last spring I saw hundreds of commercials for Girls on the Run and it helped our area triple their numbers and donors!  How we can create more Brand Awareness throughout the Community. Additionally, while we have had moderate success in a metro where we have so many things going on how we stand out to get stories told more frequently. We average about 2 television, 4 radio and 6 prints a year.  national branding to non-golfers  National marketing exposure, stories, media coverage on more than Golf Channel  Our programs are all located in small towns with small newspapers, where everyone knows each other. Not a mass media market here.  PLEASE consider re-framing our value proposition FROM growing the game/getting kids to play golf TO aligning our life skills education to better youth outcomes i.e. graduation rates, employment, access to college, career readiness. Unless and until we can make this collective leap, our local programs will continue to face competition for funding from other orgs who have these 'outcomes' in their cross-hairs. We are so well positioned to bring a life skills experiential based program into the lime light as a strong solution for youth. Happy to discuss!!  Provide a customizable impact report to be used by local chapters  provide funding to enable greater execution  Provide statement, press releases and collaborative media contacts that celebrate 25 years of Pro Kids as the inspiration for the First Tee movement.  Providing examples of other pr strategies  Regional commercials referring public to chapters in that area.  Sharing ideas of best practices

Mentoring

The First Tee has introduced a Developmental Approach to Mentoring. The goal of the developmental model is to allow adults to play varying roles in supporting participants and over time, retain and progress adults to The First Tee Mentor category. Each chapter should be tracking mentors in the following groups. Use the information below to categorize and answer the next 5 questions.

• Role Model: Has one-time or sporadic contact with a group of young people. At this introductory tier, the relationship between mentor and mentee(s) is strictly informational based, where mentors share their knowledge and expertise with the mentee(s). Example: A member of the community is brought in to speak with a class of participants to share information about their career or area of expertise.

• Go-To Team Member: Has multiple interactions with a young person, most likely in a group setting. At this tier, there is still a transfer of information from Mentor to Mentee(s). However, the increased contact provides greater opportunities for relationships to begin to form. Example: A volunteer plays golf with a group of participants a few times per year and develops a relationship with this group of participants.

• The First Tee Mentor: Has consistent one-on-one contact with a mentee over time. At this top tier, the focus is on building a mutually-beneficial relationship between the Mentor and Mentee. Example: A mentor meets with their mentee during structured time at the golf facility on a frequent basis.

149. What industry junior golf organization do you admire the most and why? Open ended:

 AJGA  AJGA  AJGA  AJGA  AJGA - Strong organization with a specific focus and mission  AJGA-the focus/intent to give back and providing an outstanding experience for all its participants  do not know  Drive Chip and Putt  Drive Chip and Putt  Drive, Chip, and Putt - I admire this program because it has done a great job of creating genuine enthusiasm around junior golf. The local/regional events get a lot of buzz and the marketing and promotion around the event all year long seem to always be very well done.  first tee it has been great for 20 years it was lacking last year  GA State Golf Association (GSGA) due to their inclusive approach to program formulation and delivery.  Girls Golf - for promoting the fun of the game first and foremost  Hurricane Jr Golf Tour  I admire The First Tee the most because I have seen first-hand how young people's lives can be transformed because of the relationships, life skills and core values that are part of our program. 62

 I believe TFT is the leader in junior golf and wish to see it only get better  IJGA - partner with us when our youth raise funds for us  In order for chapters to be effective at our local level, we have to position ourselves in the YOUTH DEVELOPMENT SPACE, NOT THE JUNIOR GOLF SPACE! Please think about what industry we compete in, and ask if the 'golf industry' is where we need to be....  Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado (JGAC) because this organization provides our participants an opportunity to test the competitive waters of golf. They offer different tiers of competition in order to still grow the game yet build confidence and encourage sportsmanship amongst its participants. Our program provides instruction and education and JGAC is a natural progression for our participant to be able to do both.  Junior Golf at Country Clubs - inherent advantage to get those kids involved  LPGA  LPGA Girls Golf - opps for females  LPGA-USGA girls golf program  LPGA-USGA Girls Golf. They are having an impact and not imposing costs to Chapters. Rather, they are awarding Chapters grant dollars based on participation numbers.  Midnight Golf in Detroit - Proven Results...PGA Junior League - intrinsic fun  NCGA  NCGA Youth On Course because the offer a variety of access, scholarship, internship and other benefits/discounts to youth  None - We are the best, but can partner with our competitors  None. Most are smokescreens, selfish and profit-driven.  Not familiar enough to answer. Junior golf programs are lacking in our area  Not sure - I have not studied them in my tenure as ED. Would like to do so.  Op 36  Our summer local area junior golf tours  Ours  Ours!  PGA Golf In Schools  PGA jr. golf  PGA Jr Golf League  PGA Jr League - they coordinate play opportunities  PGA Jr League - works well The First Tee and continues the growth of the game in a fun competitive way.  PGA Jr League, they are very organized and intentional in their outreach and wanting to grow the game.  PGA Jr. Golf League - The kids get to play the game  PGA Jr. League - I believe it is a great way to get young people out on a golf course and experiencing competitive golf. It is a fantastic program to marry with The First Tee. The First Tee needs to have a stronger connection with the PGA of America and this program.  PGA Jr. League - its fun and engaging! Team oriented. Family involvement, has local, regional and national components. Love the branded uniforms and accessories. TFT needs something similar, soon.  PGA Jr. League - their ability to encourage kids in the game  PGA Junior golf league  PGA Junior League  PGA Junior League  PGA Junior League - great way to get kids to gain access to and enjoy golf  PGA Junior League - they take beginner golfers, focus on fun and competitive aspect and grow the game  PGA Junior League because of the glamorous commercial  PGA Junior League for its excellence in entry level competition and golf course availability

63

 PGA Junior League- Tournament Competition  PGA Junior League, identifying and taking advantage of what kids loves to grow the game  PGA Junior League, playing & competitive aspects of the program.  PGA Junior League. It is well organized, simplified, local representative is proactive and reactive, and uniforms are well received.

We fail to keep them engaged once they leave elementary school though  The First Tee - we're the only ones with the mission that reaches beyond the golf course.  The First Tee because it instills values outside of the golf course as well.  The First Tee because it teaches golf and life skills beyond the golf course  The First Tee because it's more about child development than golf. It's what sets us apart and allows us to make a difference.  The First Tee because its Curriculum Base  The First Tee because of our values and curriculum. 64

 The First Tee because of the Nine Core Values  The First Tee because we are way more than just golf. Aside from this Drive, Chip and Putt is a neat idea and concept for kids. Don’t care as much for the competitive programs for children at too young an age.  The First Tee because we teach life skills along with golf and prepare our members to be successful.  The First Tee in that I believe in the mission of the organization.  The First Tee of Denver  The First Tee of St. Petersburg we make a great impact in the lives of our kids.  The First Tee!  The First Tee!  The First Tee!  The First Tee! It’s no other sports organization that teaches LIFE SKILLS in a manner that correlates so well with a sport such as golf. The core values and life skills we teach go hand and hand with sport we will all have come to love and appreciate.  The First Tee, because I see what it does for kids every day  The First Tee, because we teach MORE than golf.  The First Tee. It is our mission that separates us.  The First Tee... it's why we do this  The First Tee...It's all about the life skills  The First Tee-works with the WHOLE child, not just the golfer  US Kids  US Kids golf  US Kids Golf - They provide the importance of having proper equipment and utilize games/activities to create a fun environment.  US Kids, because of what they do for kids across the world to promote youth golf  US Kids-In El Paso they have a lot of tournaments for the kids to play in during the fall and spring  USGA and The First Tee (USGA for offering most grants in junior golf that grow the game)  WSGA Helps Kids  Youth on Course  Youth on Course: With so many of our LSE Participants new to the game and on financial assistance providing cheap ways for young people to experience the golf course outside of our class setting will help retain and progress participants. Course that tout "we're kid friendly, kids play free with a paying adult (adult fee $50)" is a joke.

150. Is growing the game of golf a priority for your chapter? Yes - 114; 81% No - 27; 19%

151. What surveys do you conduct each year? (check all that apply) Participant Survey - 63; 45% Parent Survey - 103; 73% Volunteer Survey - 49; 35% Donor Survey - 10; 7% Board of Director Survey - 59; 42% Coaching Survey - 49; 35% 65

Research Survey - 5; 4% Other (please specify) - 20; 14%  Board surveys have been conducted during meetings to aid resource development and board education efforts. We conduct surveys of our The First Tee DRIVE partners to measure programming outcomes.  Don't do them as often as we should  Junior Advisory Committee Feedback  Not at this time, but plan to do several in 2019  Not yet...opportunity for growth in 2019  NSP  School Administrative  survey youth serving agency counselors  Teacher survey  We don't conduct surveys on a regular basis. We have Good Better How discussions after fundraisers conclude and at staff levels.  We don't do surveys ... part of our plan for 2019 coming into the season is to do a parent, coach and volunteer surveys  We don't have a designated participant survey, but we do ask participants what they like/don't like about our classes and what they are learning  we have not done formal surveys  would like to implement this for 2019 and would appreciate any samples for each area that we could use

152. Please provide any additional information, clarifications, or comments:

 I hope that as the new leadership begins at The First Tee HQ, consideration is given to bringing back regional meetings, ED/PD/Board training classes, and the Network Meeting. These events provide invaluable networking and education opportunities that significantly improve the retention and recruitment of staff and volunteers.  The following is provided to clarify or expand upon previous survey responses. * Board of Directors Q9 - Q10: Board of Directors “Give and Get” policy asks members to give and/or get financial contributions that equate to at least $5K annually. * Other Paid Staff Members (not included in Q43 – Q48): Director of Golf (authorized full-time headcount; currently vacant) * Girls Golf Q63: LPGA program launched after last LSE program session for 2018 began. * Diversity Q77: While Chapter has a goal to increase diversity specific strategies are pending formulation. * Charity Events & Donations Q81: The Chapter is still awaiting feedback from the PGA TOUR concerning the donation amount that will be received from the 2018 ______Championship event. * Fundraising Q85: Chapter’s largest gift (excluding funding from HQ) = $20,000 * Miscellaneous Q133: Growing the game of golf is not our top priority; however, we are committed to helping the game grow organically thorough our youth development programming.  This survey is getting longer each year. Is there any way we can break it up a bit. It's exhausting!  Answers are limited due to pending merger  This has been a difficult year for most everyone in the First Tee. HQ really needs to make 2019 a homerun.  It would be helpful to have these questions at the beginning of the year so we can track some of the relevant information such as working with participants with mental, physical or emotional disabilities. We did but I don't have an easy way to track that. Also, it would be great to receive the results of this survey. I would like to have a comparison of similar size chapters or regions to see what they pay staff. We could use more HR support from the home office and direction on laws, etc. In addition, it would be great if HQ could investigate options for offering health benefits and retirement plans for the chapters to participate in. We can't afford it at a chapter level alone but as an organization it

66

would be better with the numbers. My understanding is the Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts are set up where they pay their HQ a stipend and in return their staff members receive benefits, retirement and insurance coverage for the chapters is included. I would like to have more training available on the mentoring program and how to better implement at our chapters including how to train our volunteers and to correctly assign them to the level. I was surprised that it was included in the survey because we haven't heard anything about it all year and there is nothing set up in Salesforce to capture this information. Starting in 2020, we are going to be losing funds from the local PGA event (approximately 16% of our overall budget). When reaching out to HQ, we haven't received much support or direction on how to continue to get those funds or to work with us to find a replacement. There is a new event replacing the PGA event so it would be great to have some support from HQ in getting support from that new tournament. Finally, the communication from HQ this year has been terrible. There is even more disconnect to HQ than ever before. A deep divide has been created and there needs to be a lot of work done to repair the relationships. It was very frustrating not knowing what was happening with staff positions and who was still on staff and who wasn't. Everything was very secretive which created a lot of unease at the chapter level. Chapters should be involved with discussions in new opportunities. To change the mission and not tell the chapters was unbelievable. I'm very thankful that we are back to our original mission and hopefully going forward we can get back on track.  Our major issues right now has to do with transitioning to Salesforce. I completely understand the enormity and difficulty of what you are dealing with, and I think it is an important transition however being required to make the switch, having to pay for it, and having it not yet be capable of what we need from it, and what we have already been doing, is very difficult. I am basically having to use 2 systems simultaneously just so that my coaches can continue to do what we have been doing. It is currently creating more work for me.  Growing the game of golf is a priority for our organization. However, delivering the nine core values and healthy habits while doing so is more important to us. As we say...We don't just build better golfers. We build character. This sets us apart from any other junior program around!  We have not officially gone live with Salesforce, therefore our input is minimal at this point. All of our staff works for the ______Youth Foundation - therefore the Director of Development is actually full time but listed as part time with only a portion of the salary for time specifically spent on The First Tee program. The Program Director spends all their time on The First Tee program.  Thank you for allowing the chapters to provide this feedback. On behalf of the board and our staff at The First Tee of ______we look forward to 2019 and all the positive change that may come. We feel that 2018 was a lost year in relation to our growth as an organization. We do not believe that this impact was felt by our participants, families, coaches or donors but there is much to be caught up on as we all work toward the shared goal of impacting young people through the game.  We are glad to have a new leadership in place now, and hope we will be moving forward with the same mission and vision that we have had for the past 20 years.  Point of clarification regarding ED's pay. ED is paid by largest corporate donor, therefore salary is not reflected in this survey. Did not want to skew the numbers.  The support we receive from Mike Blackwell, and before that Ben Grandy is/was amazing. Mike is a huge asset for TFT organization. Wish Ben was still part of the team. I am very disappointed that The First Tee National does not provide Financial Support directly to its chapters. What binds us to National other than the mission, and the good we bring to the community? We are a small chapter - with amazing volunteer support but with big staff needs (i.e. Assistant Program/Outreach Directors, Administrative support especially with Salesforce requirements), but we have to pay for training (of all types), promotional/marketing items, Salesforce (huge expenditure for us in time and contractor $$), and NSP/Drive kits. We could use help in fundraising (i.e. for scholarships) .. but it seems to me we have to ask rather than it being a push out by National. How can it work as a win/win for National to provide targeted subsidies for us to support our biggest needs? I do not like the question about "is growing the game of golf a priority?" Of course

67

the answer is -- YES -- the sport participation is decreasing and we are a way to have more children learn about how good this game is. How are you going to take action on that question??? Is it our top priority? (that would have been a better question). No ... our top priority is defined by the (past?) mission statement -- which is more about the improving lives of the children and the communities through educational programs based on the Nine Core Values, Life Experiences, and Health Habits ... we serve with a big focus on providing access to golf to those less fortunate, underserved; and demonstrating how fun the game/sport is and how it can be played for a lifetime. I would love to see much more support for social media and improving how we execute using social media. This is recognized by me, my staff, and the Board as being huge for us with our strategy. Again, we are a small chapter -- we don't have a lot of expertise in social media. It is a major part of what we have to do to increase our visibility and market ourselves, and we will have to pay a social media firm in 2019 to help us do this. This is a big area we could leverage National's support. Been with TFT______for now over a year. When I started (and attended the Networking meeting in 2017) ... National and therefore the whole TFT network seemed like a family. We all operated very well as a team. National had a ton of compassion for those of us that worked in the Chapters. With the new "corporate" approach ushered in with Keith Dawkins and his co-harts, as well as the subsequent layoffs.. it became more of a stark corporate culture -- less feeling for the chapters (the deliverers of the mission) and more it all about National and an us vs. them mentality. How can we re-coup the family culture that existed before Keith and have we all work together as a collective team? Thank you all for reaching out with this survey and receiving the feedback in the spirit of continuous improvement. (Before TFT______... business, organization, and personal improvement it has been my life's passion and career). The First Tee of ______is very prideful of being a big part of The First Tee. We want to make sure we carry and promote the game to all in our state and region.  We just completed a new renewal with the home office this year as well as a new board for the first time. We received our 501-c3 April of this year. Started raising funds. Next year should be very exciting for this chapter's progress. Stay tuned!  Good to get this taken care of with one survey. A best practice for the future!  I've only been Executive Director for over one month. I collaborated with our team to complete the survey and found this very helpful in learning more about The First Tee of ______.  Define diversity, TFT seems to only focus on gender and ethnicity, experts will tell you there are 15+ different factors to determine diversity. I believe the chapter are truly more diverse then the National Office credits. The question pertaining to Give/Get we actually require 10K Give OR Get (not split down). As far as industry membership we should include GCSAA and maybe CMAA  thank you  Our mission of character education is critical to our success. Any research, data and marketing HQ can provide is key as we are all understaffed for what we need to accomplish.  I am new to this role and the program director is no longer with this chapter. Our chapter is strong and will be stronger once there is more stability in personnel.  It would be so nice if Headquarters could help our chapter raise funding.  Question # 81 deserves more answer options. Have the practice survey match the real survey. Thanks for doing this survey  There are a couple questions that I put 0 in or couldn't answer. YOC, PGA Jr League and DC&P do not incorporate the Nine Core Values but the general public and their children's time do not differentiate. It is all about TIME to them. We are competing for people's limited time. Mainstream marketing of TFT helps us reach the non-golfing families and ultimately grows the game. You should have asked how many of us participate in YOC. This program has grown to its size because TFT chapters believe in it. However, now, it is competing with the TFT chapters for funding. Often chapters are finding their funders donating to YOC because of the "obvious" success, on the backs of TFT's participation. Could this be a program TFT should "own", think merger/acquisition to improve the market environment (the donor world). 68

 2018 was a transition year for The First Tee of ______with change in leadership. We are looking forward to strong 2019 with some changes to our board and some new initiatives that we will be offering!  Main priority of our chapter is to provide life skills, healthy habits, and fun to children through golf; growing the game remains a secondary priority to that.  Enjoyed the hi-five and weekly communication from DRA and the level it made us feel connected to the home office. We miss that.  We are truly committed to the mission of The First Tee, and have been very dedicated to being a leader among chapters for over a decade. This year, however, was a big test. The method with which Salesforce was rolled out, and the changes in leadership at "HQ" really left us with a lot of questions about the direction of the network. We took it for granted in the past, but we always had a strong trust level in "HQ", and felt that decisions were made in the best interest of chapters. However, the Salesforce rollout feels forced and has definitely set us back. And in support roles, people we've built close relationships with were dismissed suddenly and not replaced. We intend to be an asset and a resource, but we are also eager to see "HQ" with wind in its sails again.  We are a small chapter with a very active board. This past year was a reorganizing year for us (as well as with HQ) as we gained a new Executive Director, moved our offices, and reduced our program locations. We are looking forward to a new and full year in our new building and are excited about collaborations with the city, school districts, and other benefactors as we strive to grow the game of golf and encourage youth as they develop essential skills that will last a lifetime.  Thank you for letting Chapters provide input. 2018 was certainly an interesting year for The First Tee. We have great confidence in Mr. McLaughlin, Ms. Weiler, and others in Leadership roles within the organization. We wish everyone at HQ all the best this holiday season!  Our chapter was formed in 2016  Question 150 is not a fair yes/no question. The interim mission statement change, we believe, missed the mark. The First Tee is in a unique position to "grow the game" to the extent that the "Good Golfers, Better People" we develop through our Life Skills education take up the game as a lifetime pursuit. Our primary emphasis first, last and always should be on developing a diverse body of youth who may one day change the face of golf in the US (and the world) as we know it today.  Suggestions: Q and A for Program Directors only – maybe once a month QA for ED’s - once a month Please go back to Home Office verses Headquarters. Home Office feels like family. Communication from HQ to Chapter personnel has been almost non- existent since the departure of the support staff and educational staff.  Our chapter is in a big transition period. We are breaking ground on our new property in conjunction with Boys and Girls Clubs on 40 acres in south T______, adjacent to I______Club and a future M______. We have put a short term hold on growth from a programming side as we work toward our exciting plans!  Thanks and Happy Holidays!  Please include "other/foreign PGA" when asking about qualifications for staff etc not just USA  Regarding racial diversity, people of color simply don't live in N______. The percentage of white populations in our counties average in the very high 90s. It is not that we don't have a strategy or don't try to involve them. We do believe it is important, but the numbers are not in our favor. Gender-wise we are well-balanced with our Board, our coaches and our participants.  Please Greg, lead this organization out of the desert and know that one size does not fit all, especially for poorer, smaller markets without tour events, major industry, major sponsors or Trustees. This has been a difficult year, both figuratively and literally...but after all: "Things can only get better."  The organization at headquarters has obviously gone through some transition...we are pleased that there is a new CEO and we look forward to helping National and impacting as many kids as possible for 2019. The restructuring hurt our organization as we lost some really good people! 69

 technical support to me means leveraging salesforce to raise money, strategically plan, and identify areas of weakness by the chapter staff  We all know 2018 was a rough year for The First Tee. Communication and direction was non-existent with the new leadership. There are some amazing people within our organization and we need to listen to the people in the field and share what the best in our field are working on. Our chapters are all unique, but we share a passion. Let's tap into this.  Looking forward to improved communication between chapter and home office moving forward. Also looking forward to Zone 2.0 (whatever you want to call it... metrics are important to keeping everyone moving forward)  It has taken years to develop and refine The First Tee's curriculum. It needs to be nurtured.  Not sure on how useful some of the staffing questions will be, as our chapter is fairly unique and our structure does not align neatly. Thank you!  We look forward to seeing the data from this survey.  average donor size changes dramatically between individual donors, major donors and corporate donors - we have not gone live with Salesforce, so there is no ROI yet - home office needs to get out in front of PGA Junior League, which is growing - by far, the number one way that the home office can help chapters is through grants to chapters without support from PGA TOUR tournaments - home office and CEO changes created a huge burden for chapters in 2018 (i.e., the home office hurt chapters more than they helped in 2018)  I appreciate all of the work that HQ does to help and support chapters. Fundamentally, we straddle two industries - golf and youth development. While that presents some difficulties in marketing, promoting, and delivering services, I do recognize that there are stakeholders on each side of the equation that we have to cater to in order garner their support. However, The First Tee has to be very thoughtful on how heavily weighted we find ourselves between these two industries. I feel like HQ sees The First Tee is 75% Golf Industry, 25% Youth Development Industry (alignment to our 'founding partners' and their efforts to grow the game). However, local chapters, to raise dollars, positions themselves in their communities as 90% Youth Development Industry, and 10% Golf Industry. They are competing against organizations that have a laser-focused mission to solve a community challenge. 'Growing the Game' is not a community challenge that raises dollars. I am hoping that HQ can view their value proposition through the lens of the local chapter, and align their messaging, research, training, programming, and resource generation through this lens - 90% YOUTH DEVELOPMENT, 10% GOLF. This would make everyone rowing in the same direction, and, invoke a desire for long-term sustainable change across our organization and the nation. I would like to think that our founding partners could see that YOUTH DEVELOPMENT will make this country better, AND grow the game in the process and more youth pick up the clubs and our life skills education. Our funding base - locally and nationally - will grow much broader than the 'narrower' (and important) objectives of our founding partners to grow the game.  The change in the National First Tee CEO is a positive move. We need another Johnson & Johnson Grant opportunity. I just had an hour long telephone conversation with Jennifer of the National First Tee Organization. We need more opportunities like her initiative.  I love The First Tee and consider it the best program around. I have been involved with this organization for more that 14 years and love every minute of it.  The First Tee should continue to encourage the National School Program in elementary schools and offer continuing programs in middle school classes.  When answering Neutral on the question about satisfaction with communication from HQ. The Daily Digest, Clippings and Industry News gets a 10 out of 10. There was very little communication from the new management team and I feel some chapters felt left in the dark regarding the direction and future of The First Tee. Furthering education for EDs, PDs and Board Members seemed as if it was taken off the table. I am excited about the selection of the new President of The First Tee and aligning our objectives with PGA and utilizing that synergy to reach more children and grow the game for good, for girls, and for future generations. Collaborate together and reach a tipping point for building leaders of tomorrow by inspiring youth of today. I feel more confident about our future. 70

 I'm a new Executive Director to The First Tee, and there is no one that is more passionate about our programs, and the game of golf than I am (it’s possible maybe to be as passionate, but not possible to be more passionate). However, as a new ED I have gotten no communication from HQ other than to let me know of the major changes that are taking place in the national organization. I hear all the time about the millions of dollars that are being given to The First Tee from PGA Tour events, yet I can't even get a response on how I can best apply for a grant from the World Golf Foundation. When I fundraise in my local community there is a perception that The First Tee is a huge organization that has massive funds going to support my programming, yet I'm not getting funding from the national organization. $100,000 is drop in the bucket for a lot of chapters, but would be transformational for my chapter if we could get a grant from HQ. I believe there is a disconnect between the great visibility that the advertising and marketing that is on TV every week on the Golf Channel, and during PGA Tour events gives to our chapter, and yet no funding filtering down to our chapter. I would love to talk with someone about ideas that I have, and if there are avenues available for me to tap into funding and support that is available to us. We will grow the game in our local area, but it would be great to have some more mentoring from those who have done it before me. It seems that things are starting to get on track with HQ, and I hope that communication and support of what we do will be coming soon. I'm anxious to get started into some education and training for both ED and Programming/ coaching so I hope that the schedules and curriculum will be coming soon. I look forward to hearing from someone very soon, and will continue to be about growing good golfers and better people every day. Respectfully, ______- The First Tee ______ Unique year-please rehire some of our home office talent and let's get back to serving communities and supporting Chapters.  Please provide the questions to these surveys at the beginning of the year. There are some great questions that if we knew that they were being asked we would be able to track answers throughout the year (example, I never thought to survey our donors...I am going to do that in 2019 and asking certain questions in our parent survey would get better answers to your questions). Thank you for all your support and hard work at HQ!  Looking forward to a great 2019!  As a new Executive Director I can see there are some gaps in our tracking of specific areas. I am sure salesforce will help close the gaps with properly capturing the data needed for this survey. I answered the best I could based on the data we do capture. We are still a small chapter but have seen significant growth this past year. My focus to grow the NSP and drive programs has begun to pay off - we will have doubled our schools by early 2019 and expect to see a significant increase in our life skills program. I see the momentum building as we get our brand more exposure in the community.
