Increasing Awareness of Your Charity and Your Cause
Birdies for Charity is a non-profit program under the Principal Charity Classic. This program is designed to help raise new funds for local charities and schools, engage the community in the tournament, and provide matching funds for each charity involved.

Birdies for Charity Bonus
Each organization that raises money through Birdies for Charity will receive a fixed 8% match on all donations made into the program. Organizations are given the opportunity to earn an additional 2% bonus match on all donations by sharing information about the Birdies for Charity program and promoting their participation. The maximum bonus per charity is $12,500 in total matching funds, which would equal 10% of $125,000 in donations collected. There is a $800,000 maximum match for the entire program that will be met on a first-come, first-served basis. We will notify charities if we reach that total maximum fundraising amount.
