Got Pickleball? Many Don’t.

You love pickleball. So do we. 

Pickleball builds confidence, friendship, wellbeing, and belonging. But for too many, there’s not enough paddles, places to play, and volunteers.

You bring your love. We’ll bring the way to share it.

Pickleball for Good™ Fund turns your love 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 love becomes access:

  • Share it. Donate, sponsor, or volunteer—however you give back.
  • We grant it. Our volunteer Grants Committee turns your gift into one of our ImpactGrants: CoreGrant, ChallengeGrant, or GoGreen Grant.
  • They thrive.  Paddles in hand, courts to play on, and volunteers who champion them.
 
Ball is in your court…
