Grants & Assistance
The USTA offers a variety of grants to help grow the game of tennis. Get support and find out how the USTA and USTA Foundation can help with grants, equipment discounts, and more.

The USTA Foundation offers grants to support the development of NJTLs and scholarships to young student-athletes to help them pursue their dreams on and off the court.

The USTA's Adaptive Tennis Grant is offered to assist in the promotion, implementation and growth of adaptive tennis programs at the community level. Criteria for selection include: clear use of grant funds in an itemized budget; a plan for program sustainability, program growth and expansion, which can include the number of athletes and/or play opportunities; and success stories.

Every year, USTA Wheelchair Tennis provides grant assistance to organizations that promote and develop the growth of the game. The first USTA Wheelchair Tennis Grassroots Grants were awarded in 2008 and since then, the USTA has given more than $650,000 to wheelchair tennis programs across the country. Grant amounts are based on each program's existing budget, as well as the future programming needs of the organization.
We are placing special emphasis on programs that plan to attract new junior players to the sport. Grants should assist in providing assets including coaching, court time, events (i.e., run/rolls, tournaments, camps) and equipment.
Please email Jason Harnett, Director, Wheelchair Tennis, with any questions or concerns. The deadline for 2023 grant applications is March 1.

Together with the ITA, the USTA is pleased to offer a one-time grant up to $10,000 awarded to your athletic department if you actively operate your tennis facility as a new “Collegiate Community Hub”.

The USTA is pleased to offer a number of services through the Tennis Venue Services team. Complimentary business, advocacy, and technical assistance are available to facilities to help grow the game in their communities. In addition, the USTA offers a competitive grant to public facilities that can further support their facility improvements.

The USTA, with support from Tennis Industry United and the USTA Foundation, developed the USTA David N. Dinkins HBCU Coaching Grant that will support HBCUs that currently have varsity tennis programs.
