New Jersey Turfgrass Foundation


The New Jersey Turfgrass Foundation was established in 1991 to further promote, foster, finance and perform charitable, scientific, literary and educational work in the turfgrass industry in New Jersey. Specifically, it is charged with generating and managing funds to:
  • Award Turfgrass Research Grants
  • Award Scholarships to Students in Turfgrass Disciplines
  • Donate Equipment and Supplies to Turf Programs, and Contribute to the Improvement of Turfgrass Facilities at Rutgers
The Foundation presents the Annual Rutgers Turfgrass Research Golf Classic.
