The DeLozier Family Foundation

Founded in 2024, the mission of the DeLozier Family Foundation is to support and promote emerging leaders in the club and hospitality industry, fostering advancement and career development for individuals who are underrepresented in the club and hospitality industries.

To achieve this goal, the Foundation has initially pledged $50,000 to the Club Foundation who will administer continuing education scholarships to underrepresented individuals currently seeking to advance their careers at private clubs and resorts.

In addition to funding scholarships, recipients will be provided executive coaching and mentoring throughout their career by Patrick DeLozier and his team at The DeLozier Group.

“Our family has been blessed with success in the golf and hospitality industry, leading some of the most renown private clubs and developments in the United States,” Patrick shared. “It is only fitting that we pay it forward and help the next generation of leaders in the private club and resort space.”
