About LTA Foundation Grants
We partner with brilliant people and organisations to improve lives through tennis and our ambition is to support partners - who are making a real difference to people through tennis. The funding we provide is solely for the grassroots of the game and, as the LTA's charity, we're committed to working in all parts of Great Britain with a particular focus on diverse and underserved communities where the game is less well established. With your help and donations, we'll work alongside the LTA to ensure projects we fund compliment and enhance their existing work and help tennis reach more people and more parts of the country.
Who we fund
We want to partner with other tennis charities and a wide range of organisations across the 'sport for development' and third sectors more broadly. We can accept applications from any organisation, if it's properly constituted. Being properly constituted normally means having a Constitution, Articles of Association or rules in place. Examples of the types of organisations we can fund could be:
- a registered charity
- a charitable incorporated organisation
- company limited by guarantee
- community interest company limited by guarantee
- a school, college or university
- a Local Authority
Whilst we can support tennis clubs through this framework, this will generally be through exceptional circumstances, and is not the primary focus of the grant framework. Unfortunately, we cannot directly fund individuals.
What we fund
Any project we support must align with our vision of 'tennis opened up' and our mission of 'improving lives through tennis'. Any application must robustly focus on specific groups or societal outcomes, where the project can genuinely improve lives.
Innovate (£5k - £50k) | We want to partner with organisations who challenge the status quo and develop creative solutions to open tennis up and improve lives through doing so. We're open to some risk and are interested in the reasons why activities work, or don't work, and in capturing and sharing this learning. |
Scale (£10k - £100k) | Have you got a project that improves lives through tennis and a concept that is proven to work? It could be so much bigger and better, but limited resources are holding you back? We want to partner with you to demonstrably scale it up. |
Recover (£5k - £25k) | We hope this theme is rarely accessed. We operate it to provide reassurance, so organisations know we'll be there if they experience short term financial hardship, or operations ceasing, due to an economic, environmental, or other societal crisis. |
When we fund
The next funding round will close for applications on Sunday 16th March 2025.
