Mission and programs · 2024

• FIRST TEE - MONTEREY COUNTY (FTMC): FTMC IS A CHAPTER OF FIRST TEE AND SITUS UNDER THE PGA TOUR FOUNDATION. FIRST TEE IS A YOUTH DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION THAT ENABLES KIDS TO BUILD THE STRENGTH OF CHARACTER THAT EMPOWERS THEM THROUGH A LIFETIME OF NEW CHALLENGES. BY SEAMLESSLY INTEGRATING THE GAME OF GOLF WITH A LIFE SKILLS CURRICULUM, WE CREATE ACTIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCES THAT BUILD INNER STRENGTH, SELF-CONFIDENCE, AND RESILIENCE THAT KIDS CAN CARRY TO EVERYTHING THEY DO. WE'RE BUILDING GAME-CHANGERS THROUGH OUR JUNIOR GOLF PROGRAMS. FTMC PROVIDES ITS PROGRAMS AT ITS TWIN CREEKS GOLF CAMPUS LOCATED IN SALINAS, CALIFORNIA AND KING CITY GOLF COURSE LOCATED IN KING CITY, CALIFORNIA. AS OF OCTOBER 2023, FTMC DELIVERS THE FIRST TEES GOLF AND LIFE SKILLS EXPERIENCE CURRICULUM FROM JANUARY THROUGH DECEMBER DURING SCHOOL TIME, AFTER SCHOOL, ON WEEKENDS AND ON SCHOOL VACATIONS. SINCE 2004, OVER 110,000 ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 7 AND 18 YEARS OF AGE HAVE BEEN IMPACTED THROUGHOUT MONTEREY COUNTY. FTMC ALSO INCLUDES PROGRAMS THAT PROMOTE HEALTHY HABITS AND NUTRITION, AS WELL AS OFFERING HOMEWORK HELP AND TUTORING ASSISTANCE. DURING SCHOOL VACATIONS (SPRING, SUMMER, AND WINTER), FTMC DELIVERS EXTENDED PROGRAMMING THROUGH A VARIETY OF ACTIVITY CAMPS. WITH A FOCUS ON PROVIDING YOUTH OPPORTUNITIES FOR A BETTER FUTURE, PARTICIPANTS ENJOY THE PROGRAMMING PARTNERSHIPS WITH SEVERAL OTHER LOCAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND FOR-PROFIT BUSINESSES THAT FTMC HAS DEVELOPED. THE ANNUAL REGISTRATION FEE FOR A PARTICIPANT IS $160. THE PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE RESULTED IN OVER 6,000 FULL SCHOLARSHIPS. NINETY-SIX PERCENT OF THE FTMC PARTICIPANTS ARE NON-CAUCASIAN, AND FORTY-EIGHT PERCENT ARE FEMALE. THE FCF BOARD BELIEVES THAT THE INVESTMENT OF OVER $2,200,000 IN NON-COLLECTED MEMBERSHIP FEES IS MORE THAN JUSTIFIED THROUGH THE POSITIVE IMPACT THAT THE PROGRAM HAS ON THE YOUNG PEOPLE'S LIVES AND CONSEQUENTLY, THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
