About

For many, golf is a gift. To us, it’s a gateway. A gateway to recreational, educational, and professional opportunities that can inspire our youth and our communities to reach even higher. Where there are obstacles to learning and development, we use golf to clear a path. At the Pinkney Foundation, we are developing the next generation of leaders through focused programming that gets their bodies moving, minds working, and dreams realized.​The Pinkney Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created to serve urban youth by providing programs and projects that assist in developing essential life skills in areas such as financial literacy, entrepreneurship, education, arts, humanities, and recreation.The foundation was co-founded in June 2018 by husband and wife duo, Preston and JaVonnie Pinkney.Mr. Pinkney, a 2023 Jefferson Award Recipient and Board Member of the Northern California Golf Association, has served as program director of the Ace Kids Golf Program in Oakland, CA.
