One gift. Hundreds of missions. A stronger community, powered by you.

The Bonus Fund is where community generosity becomes collective impact. Every contribution fuels guaranteed bonus dollars for nearly 500 participating charities, helping each one go farther. When the community powers the Bonus Fund, the Bonus Fund powers the community.

The Birdies for Charity Bonus Fund was established to support the continuing efforts of the John Deere Classic, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit, to provide bonus dollars to participating charities in the program. Each charity receives a guaranteed 5% bonus on eligible amounts—up to their prior‑year pledge total or $100,000, whichever is greater—and in strong years, the percentage can be even higher, up to 10%. The Bonus Fund itself is powered by community gifts & partners, special events, tournament efforts, and a generous matching grant from John Deere, and community gifts like yours.
