Got Pickleball? Many Don’t.

Pickleball builds confidence, friendship, fitness, and belonging. But for too many, there’s no paddle, no place to play, and no volunteers to champion them.

You bring the love. We bring the way to share it.

Pickleball for Good™ turns your generosity into ImpactGrants — funding and gear for vetted nonprofits, schools, and agencies who share this game with the communities that have the most to gain and the least access.

How your generosity becomes access:

  • Share it. Donate, sponsor, or volunteer — however you love to give.
  • We grant it. Our volunteer Grants Committee turns your gift into a CoreGrant (up to $2,500 in funding or gear) , ChallengeGrant (up to $2,500 matching boost for a charity tournament or fundraising campaign), or GoGreen Grant (up to $2,500 to implement ecofriendly practices in programs or events).
  • They thrive. A community that lacks access gets a paddle in hand, a court to play on, and volunteers who champion them.
 
Ball is in your court…
