Foundations and funds

We are constantly looking for ways to provide kids with opportunities to adopt the sport of tennis. Whether it is through an after-school community program or through a club, our goal is to provide kids with opportunities to get started, to share our passion for the game and to encourage them to be active for life. Tennis BC has a number of fundraising and donation programs available that support both community youth and high performance tennis programs in BC. These programs start with your support.

Through the Vancouver Foundation, Tennis BC has created two legacy funds. The Community Youth Tennis Fund, which supports the development of youth tennis at the community level, and the Edward Siemens Memorial Tennis Fund, which supports one or more high performance junior athletes competing for Team BC.

Donations to the sport of tennis in BC can also be made through Tennis Canada, a Registered Canadian Amateur Athletics Association, with funds directed to Tennis BC. Please see Tennis Canada’s Donation and Policy Form.

Fund hosted through the Vancouver Foundation

Most young players develop their passion for the game on public tennis courts in the community, learning the game in a fun, social setting. This fund supports the development of youth tennis at the community and neighbourhood level providing youth opportunities to participate in and enjoy tennis programs. Tennis BC has programs that donate rackets, balls and learn to play equipment to help keep kids healthy, active and playing for life. Contributions made to this fund are eligible for tax receipts.
