Austal USA Releases 2026 Charity Golf Invitational Charity Submission Guidelines

MOBILE, Ala. – Austal USA announced its 2026 Annual Charity Golf Invitational will take place on Friday March 13, 2026.  Applications are now being accepted for charities that wish to be considered for receiving a share of the proceeds of the tournament.  Austal USA encourages charities supporting the South Alabama region, especially in Mobile and Baldwin counties, to submit applications. 

Over the last 14 years, this event has raised over $2.7 million for local non-profit organizations.  Working closely with our partner, the United Way of Southwest Alabama, we have worked to identify and support local charities who have an impact on the South Alabama community.  Last year’s tournament raised over $225,000 that was distributed to 14 local charities. The charity invitational is one of the many ways Austal USA gives back to the community whose enduring support has enabled the company’s success as a major defense contractor for over 25 years. 

Details on the application process for regional charities can be found at

 https://austal.swoogo.com/charitygolf2026.  Charity applications are due August 1, 2025.

Of note the application requires the submission of a homemade video – professionally produced videos will not be accepted – that demonstrates the impact the charity’s project will have on the community. 

Organizations interested in sponsoring the tournament are also encouraged to begin researching available sponsorship opportunities on the event website at this time as well.  Sponsor registration opens Monday, September 8.
