The Bollinger Foundation is a unique non-profit organization that provides financial support to children who have lost one or both parents, in which either the deceased parent worked - or the surviving parent continues to work - in the field of public or affordable housing, or community and economic development. IEDC supports the Bollinger Foundation through administrative support and office space. Since its founding in 1989, the Foundation has raised over $1,191,625 in scholarships to help students in need. In 2019, the Foundation was able to raise over $80,000 from sponsorships alone.
Our primary fundraising event is the Bollinger Golf Open, an annual golf tournament. The 40th annual Bollinger Golf Open, will be held on Friday, October 15, 2021 at 12:30pm EST, at Andrews Air Force Base Golf Course. Come play with us!
