Grow the Game Grant - Fall 2024

USTA Texas’s grant initiative designed to supercharge the already booming tennis ecosystem across the Lone Star State is returning for 2024. The USTA Texas Grow the Game (GTG) Grants are designed to help boost new and existing tennis programs in communities throughout Texas. This year’s grant is open from October 15 through November 11, 2024

USTA Texas Executive Director Fred Viancos said the grant focuses support directly to the places where tennis growth is taking place.

“Tennis in Texas has grown tremendously in the past few years, and we want to ensure that we’re supporting and sustaining that growth,” he said. “These grants will make a difference for local providers and organizations and help them develop more robust, welcoming tennis communities.”

With grants up to $2,500, the limited-time opportunity is open to all Texas parks, schools, after-school programs, tennis facilities and clubs, service organizations, and CTAs. The funds will help directly and immediately grow the sport of tennis locally across Texas. One grant per applicant. Grow the Game Grants are limited to one award per year.

The limited-time grant will close on Monday, November 11. The GTG Grant funds can be used for the following: Marketing/Digital Assets, Coaching Tools and Education, Customer Experience Enhancements, Equipment, Gifts and Promotional Incentives, Food/Beverage, as well as Instructor Fees (can be no more than 50% of total grant requested).

All grant recipients will be required to submit a post-grant report. Recipients should keep all related documentation for expenses to submit with their report. In some cases, receipts for the purchase of materials, equipment, and/or services may be required.
