About the Fund
The NSW ATP Cup Tennis Legacy Fund (the Fund) is an initiative established by Tennis NSW and the NSW Government, as a result of securing the ATP Cup Group and Finals matches in Sydney from 2020. The Fund will invest over $6M into community tennis across NSW over three years, targeting infrastructure, facility development and participation programs that support the growth of the game. Funding will be delivered through four categories, each with specific objectives, eligibility criteria and process.
CATEGORIES 2 AND 3
Category 2 is for small to medium facility development or upgrade projects that will increase participation. Category 3 is for the development of targeted programs aligned to participation growth. A total of $900,000 of funding is available over three years (2020, 2021, 2022).
All applicants must carefully review the Fund Guidelines prior to submitting an application.
Applications can be made through the NSW Office of Sport website. Round 3 is open 29 March 2022 – 2 May 2022.
