New Baskets Don't Buy Themselves
Your TD allocates. We escrow. Your course improves.
It's that simple.
Money In. Baskets Out.
The Money's Real (And We Can Prove It)
ElevateUT Disc Golf holds all course funds in escrow until they're disbursed to course maintainers. This isn't a promise or a pledge—it's actual money sitting in a dedicated account, waiting to improve your course.
Each course has its own fund balance, viewable on the course page. You can see exactly how much has been raised, what the current goal is, and track progress toward upcoming projects.
The Secret: Don't Wait for the Fund
Here's what makes this system powerful: the Course Fund is a BOOST, not a replacement for your club's fundraising.
The best clubs don't wait for the fund to accumulate. They run tournaments, fundraisers, and events to build their own operating capital. They complete projects with their own funds. Then they submit receipts to ElevateUT Disc Golf and get reimbursed from the Course Fund.
That reimbursement becomes seed money for the next project. And the cycle accelerates.
