Are you looking for financial assistance to improve your tennis facility?

Affiliates of Tennis Queensland can now apply for funding of between $500 and $2,000 in the Heritage Bank Community Tennis Grant Program.

Heritage is proud to partner with Tennis Queensland to provide financial assistance to improve facilities in clubs throughout Queensland. It’s “Heritage’s way of helping to build Queensland’s Tennis community.”

The Program aims to assist clubs, associations and tennis centers to create more welcoming and sustainable facilities. In previous years, the Heritage Bank Community Tennis Grant Program has assisted clubs to build hitting walls, shade structures, drink fountains and seating. It has also been used for club refurbishment and repainting. The grants are ultimately designed to help clubs attract more people to play tennis – more often.
