With the October 25 deadline fast approaching, there’s only a month left to apply for a USTA Florida Foundation Grant. These grants provide support to organizations and individuals committed to promoting tennis throughout Florida. Whether you need funding for equipment, wheelchair tennis, or program support, these grants can be a game-changer for your tennis community.  

Apply For Grants

Equipment Grants are designed to help tennis programs acquire the necessary gear to ensure that all participants can fully enjoy the sport. From racquets and balls to nets and court maintenance supplies, these grants make it possible for tennis facilities to be properly equipped.  

The Wheelchair Grant specifically supports wheelchair tennis programs, which are essential for making the sport more inclusive and accessible. Wheelchair tennis requires specialized equipment that can be costly, often discouraging participation. This grant helps programs cover these expenses, making it easier for people with disabilities to engage in tennis. 

Program Support Grants offer financial assistance to initiatives dedicated to expanding tennis opportunities and promoting healthy living within Florida. These grants are perfect for programs looking to grow their participant base, enhance their offerings, or develop new outreach efforts.  

There have been numerous grants already awarded this year and throughout the Foundation’s history. This year, more than 20 grants worth over $100,000 have been awarded with more funds still available.

Recipients of the grants have been making a huge impact in their communities. “Thank you so much for the tennis shoes, this has been a huge help,” one person said at Lakewood High School. The South Collier YMCA has used a grant to continue their tennis programs at their facility. “These grants will allow us to continue offering fundamental tennis skills to our community’s youth. The quality of our program encourages repetitive enrollment for future success,” they said.

Many others have been outspoken of the USTA Florida Foundation Grants and what they have to offer. Don’t miss this opportunity to apply for a USTA Florida Foundation Grant. With just a month left in the current grant cycle, now is the time to take action and secure the support your tennis program needs to thrive.
