German-American Cultural Foundation (GACF) Golf Tournament
The German-American Cultural Foundation (GAC-F) is excited to welcome you to the Golf Course at Bear’s Best Golf Club again this year!
Established in 2008, the non-profit German-American Cultural Foundation (GAC-F) raises funds from businesses and private individuals in the southeastern United States to strengthen transatlantic relations through language learning, raising cultural awareness, facilitating exchange between German-speaking countries and the United States, and actively building relationships.
As the main fundraising entity for the majority of all German language and cultural organizations in the Atlanta area, they focus their operations on:
- committing nearly all raised funds to a wide variety of German language and cultural programs, e.g. Atlanta’s Goethe Zentrum, the German School of Atlanta, student exchange programs between the U.S. and Germany (especially for those talented students, who lack the financial means) and work-readiness programs along with world language education programs for public and private elementary, middle or high schools, and many more initiatives and organizations
- raising cultural awareness by introducing German traditions to the community through our own fundraising events and community celebration events
- celebrating German cultural heritage as a part of the Atlanta area cultural diversity
promoting the benefits of cultural awareness and multilingual knowledge to present and future business leaders - strengthening the transatlantic relationship by advancing intercultural awareness and know-how between German-speaking countries and the United States
They know that true understanding and collaboration only happen if tomorrow’s business leaders are exposed to each other’s way of life, background, and thinking. Sensitivity to (foreign) cultures and customs is essential on a personal as well as on a business level.
