Torch Lighters Club
Shine the Light
The Liberty National Foundation was founded on the principal to make a meaningful impact within and beyond the game of golf. As a 501(c)(3) public nonprofit organization, LNF unites members and partners in a shared commitment to supporting youth, Veterans, First Responders, and community initiatives. Guided by the values of service, integrity, and generosity, we strive to create lasting social change through charitable partnerships and the generosity of our supporters.
“When we set out to build this club nearly two decades ago, we had a vision that was greater than it may appear to be. Of course, my father and I are extremely proud of creating a championship level golf course with world class service and the best skyline in sports but Liberty National stands for more than just exceptional golf, it embodies a commitment to meaningful impact and our shared community spirit.”
- Dan Fireman, Executive Chairman of LNF
Since Liberty National's founding, philanthropy has been a core value. In 2024, the founders established the Liberty National Foundation (LNF) to further the member's commitment to giving back. Over the next 20 years, the LNF aims to contribute more than $100 million to charities supporting youth golf, Veterans, first responders, and community initiatives.
Uniting our members and partners in a shared commitment to support youth, Veterans, First Responders, and community initiatives. Together, we are committed to creating lasting social impact by enhancing lives and fostering a culture of compassion and generosity within - and beyond - the world of golf.
