The Foundation was established in 1979, as the charitable arm of PTR. In order to pursue its goal of raising, administering and distributing funds for
charitable activities, the Foundation was granted 501(C)(3) status as an educational foundation.

Each year, PTR members donate to the Foundation - often with their membership renewals. These funds are used for various charitable and research
activities which are within their 5 Categories of Giving. Some of these charitable activities have included Boys and Girls Clubs, Adaptive PE Programs,
National Junior Tennis Leagues, junior scholarships, seed grants to start community tennis programs and other worthwhile projects. The Foundation
supports the PTR Wheelchair Tennis Championships and the annual Special Olympics Tennis Championships. Please consider a donation by clicking

The Foundation also donates to the causes of our Humanitarian Award Winners each year. This year's Humanitarian was Adam Jasick with his Future
Champions Foundation who is using tennis to open doors and building sustainable schools in AFRICA.
