The South Carolina Tennis Foundation (SCTF) is pleased to announce that applications are now open for the 2026 Community Program Grants, designed to support programs that expand access to tennis across South Carolina—particularly for underserved youth, diversity-focused, school-based, wheelchair, blind or visually impaired, and other adaptive tennis programs.
What’s New for 2026
To better meet the needs of communities throughout the year, SCTF has made two important updates to the grant process:
- Rolling Applications: Grant applications will be accepted on a rolling basis throughout the calendar year until available funds are fully exhausted. Organizations are encouraged to apply early, as funding is limited.
- One-Year Grant Awards: Beginning in 2026, Community Program Grants will be awarded on a one-year basis.
Who Should Apply
Eligible applicants include Community Tennis Associations (CTAs), parks and recreation departments, schools, NJTL programs, Special Olympics programs, and other nonprofit or community-based organizations delivering impactful tennis programming in their local communities.
