USTA Mid-Atlantic leverages donations to support their charitable programs which include:

 

• After School Tennis and Summer Camp Programs for children that may not ever have the chance to learn the sport. This program has reached more than 10,000 youth since its inception in 2016;

• Scholarships for high-performance junior players with financial need so that players can pursue competition and gain leadership skills; and

• Safe Places to Play Grants that enable local communities to refurbish or build tennis infrastructure so that there are more places to play and learn the game.
