Our Foundation utilizes the net proceeds from the resort's first short course, Bandon Preserve and the 19-hole short course, Shorty\u2019s.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Since 2006, Bandon Dunes Golf Resort owner, Mike Keiser, has generously supported organizations that serve the South Coast of Oregon.&nbsp; These donations and grants came through different avenues \u2013 Wild Rivers Coast Alliance, Oregon Community Foundation, as well as Bandon Dunes Golf Resort itself. As the Keiser family\u2019s generosity continued to expand, it became time to streamline all giving, resulting in our new name \u2013 Bandon Dunes Charitable Foundation. We are excited about this transition, our increased impact and stronger connection between the Keiser family, Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, and our thriving local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
