USTA Micro-Grants Awarded.

The USTA recently pledged $5 million over five years in local USTA Micro-Grants to foster the growth of tennis via local programs.

 

We are excited to share that the USTA has already received over $1 million in local USTA Micro-Grants applications for 2025. These funds will ultimately assist more than 120 local grassroots organizations in launching new Community Tennis Associations, running local Red Ball Tennis activations, building teams of tennis ambassadors, and providing equipment to under-resourced areas.  

 

USTA Micro-Grants will be available again in 2026, and we encourage you to apply for support when the grants become available early next year.
