Welcome to the "Funding Finder" grant book compiled by the USTA/Intermountain Community Development Committee. This grant book touches the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the multiple grant opportunities, non-tennis specific, that are out there in the Intermountain Section and nationally. The Community Development Committee embarked on this project in an effort to meet the needs of community tennis associations (CTAs) around the section whose main request is "FUNDING." While we at the USTA/Intermountain Section would love to be able to hand out funding to all of the well deserving CTAs in our section, that just isn't feasible. So, we did the only thing that we could do -- we researched grant opportunities for you. We have researched state-specific grants and foundations along with national grants/foundations that we feel could apply to CTAs, depending on your focus and mission. This manual begins with a listing of national grants and follows with grants offered to organizations in Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming. The information on each grant includes: a description of the grant, requirements to be eligible to receive a grant, amount of the grant, deadline for the grant (this is subject to change as this publication was put out in 2003 and deadlines will most likely change from year to year so it is up to the applicant to obtain the most recent deadline for a particular grant), a contact and address, and a website (when applicable). Keep in mind that this information may change from year to year so you might need to do some research of your own to get updated information on the grants listed within. As mentioned above, this is only a small fraction of the grants/foundations that exist that may benefit your organization. We encourage you to sift through these pages and see if any of these grants would be applicable to and benefit your organization. In addition, you might want to do some research of your own because there are many other opportunities out there. For example, each state receives federal funding due to the Federal Land & Water Conservation Fund. We encourage you to contact your local government agencies and tap in to this funding. We hope this is a useful tool for you as you attempt to grow and develop your organization. Happy funding hunting! Sincerely, The USTA/Intermountain Community Development Committee
