SHARE THE LOVE GRANT
 USTA Florida has launched a $500,000 "Share the Love" grants initiative to help fund tennis programs and projects throughout Florida communities during these challenging economic times.

Please note:

The deadline for all 2011 Share the Love grant applications is November 15, 2011 so that we can close out all 2011 grants by the end of the year.

The Share the Love Grant program will reopen on January 15, 2012 and we will begin accepting 2012 applications at that time.

Thank you,
Share the Love Grant Committee
