What it reported doing in 2025

THE LARGEST PHILANTHROPIC INITIATIVE OF INVITED FOUNDATION IS CHARITY CLASSIC, WHERE EACH CLUB IN OUR NETWORK HOSTS AN ANNUAL CHARITABLE FUNDRAISER TO BENEFIT A LOCAL NONPROFIT AND THE INVITED FOUNDATION. CHARITY CLASSIC RAISES MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN DONATIONS FOR 100+ NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS NATIONWIDE. IN 2025, INVITED FOUNDATION DONATED OVER $3.3M; TOTAL GIVING SINCE THE PROGRAMS INCEPTION IS OVER $40M. WE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OUR EMPLOYEES THROUGH TIMES OF FINANCIAL HARDSHIP THROUGH THE ECF. FUNDS DONATED TO THE INVITED FOUNDATION HELP PROVIDE GRANT ASSISTANCE TO EMPLOYEES FOR VARIOUS UNFORESEEN EMERGENCIES CAUSED BY A SUDDEN DEATH IN THE FAMILY, HOME FIRE OR IMPACTS OF A NATURAL DISASTER. THE ECF GRANTED $285,000 in grants to 225 Invited employees in crisis, including $80,000 to support 160 employees impacted by natural disasters.Created by Invited in 2020, Crush It! is a nationally recognized junior golf program that has provided thousands of junior golfers with opportunities to receive golf instruction while developing skills that translate both on and off the course.In 2024, the program introduced a charitable component, the Crush It! Cup with Jordan Spieth. To earn a spot in the event, junior members participate in a golf marathon and secure pledges to support fundraising efforts. The top 40 participants earn invitations to compete in the Crush It! Cup, including the top 36 fundraisers, two juniors who play the most holes during the marathon, and two juniors nominated by golf professionals and coaches. All participants are also invited to take part in the overall weekend experience.In 2025, the Crush It! Cup brought together more than 80 junior golfers for a day focused on competition, mentorship, and philanthropy. Participants enjoyed a 9-hole scramble, skills challenges, a golf clinic, and a fireside chat with Jordan Spieth. The golf marathon and Crush It! Cup experience generated $150,000 in net proceeds to support pediatric cancer initiatives and junior golf programs.
