Unlocking Potential on the Court, Empowering Youth for Life
Florida Tennis Foundation democratizes the sport of tennis across Broward County and South Florida. We provide free junior tennis clinics, collegiate athletic scholarships, public court refurbishments, and adaptive wheelchair tennis programs for athletes of all abilities.
Every dollar contributed moves our mission forward and directly empowers our community.
Rooted in Compassion, Driven by Community
In sunny Fort Lauderdale, Florida Tennis Foundation believes every child deserves the chance to hold a racket and experience the discipline and joy of athletic competition. We partner with public school districts and municipal parks to ensure tennis is accessible to everyone regardless of economic background.
We operate with unwavering dedication to transparency, ethics, and tangible local impact. Through structured programs, volunteer mobilization, and public partnerships, FLORIDA TENNIS FOUNDATION creates measurable, lasting change.
- Direct Accountability: Over 95% of every donation goes straight into frontline community programs.
- Community First: Programs designed and executed alongside local neighborhood leaders.
- Sustainable Impact: Long-term capacity building rather than short-term fixes.
