The USTA Colorado and Colorado Youth Tennis Foundation are committed to providing financial assistance to organizations that want to make tennis programs available to local communities throughout the state of Colorado. Grants typically range between $100 and $1,000.

Adult/senior, diversity, adaptive program grant applications must be submitted to USTA Colorado. Junior program grant applications must be submitted to the Colorado Youth Tennis Foundation.

The grant application provides an easy-to-follow format that will ensure that each application provides all of the necessary information that will assist the disbursement committees in making their decisions. Please download this application, complete it and submit it to the appropriate office no later than April 1. Electronic submissions are encouraged. The application must be typed and completed in its entirety. Applicants will be notified of disbursement decisions by May 1.

The "early" grant deadline of October 1 enables organizations that meet additional criteria to apply early for funds for the following year. This early deadline allows the USTA Colorado and CYTF to support organizations that are working to take their program to a new level that would result in significant growth. A key part of this may be a need for marketing and PR well in advance of the program start date.
