San Francisco has over 100 tennis courts in the city and some of them are in such poor condition that they cannot be used. We aim to solve this problem by providing you with the opportunity to make a tax deductible donation to fix the worst courts in the city. Below is a list of five courts that we have identified as being in the poorest condition. Next to the name of each court, you will see the estimated cost to repair that court and the total amount of money we have raised to date. When we receive enough donations to cover the total cost to repair a particular court, we will apply the donated money to fix that court. Once a court has been fixed, we will remove it from the list below, and add another court to the list. You can also make a donation to the San Francisco Tennis Coalition "General Fund" which goes directly toward maintaining these and other tennis courts in San Francisco.
The San Francisco Parks Trust is our fiscal sponsor so your donation is safely managed by them and not us. We simply apply the contributions that we receive to fix the targeted courts. We are also partners with the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department and we work with them to plan and implement repairs. The San Francisco Tennis Coalition is made up of tennis program and infrastructure experts and we use multiple contractors to assure that we get the lowest cost for the highest quality work.
Make your check payable to "San Francisco Parks Trust, c/o SFTC".
IMPORTANT: Please also select the name of one court below and write it on the notation area of your check. If you do not tell us the name of the court where you want your donation to be applied, your donation will be applied to the SF Tennis Coalition General Fund. Your donation is tax deductible. If you would like a tax deductible receipt, please provide your return mailing address. If you would prefer to make an online donation, please

In recognition of your tax deductible donation, we will publish your name on our Web site, unless you tell us in writing that you would like to remain anonymous. Please contact
info@sftenniscoalition.org with questions. Please refer to this Web site page for information regarding the amount of donations we have collected to date. We will not reply to questions or requests about specific court-related items or repairs. Your donation will make a positive impact on the lives of San Franciscan's and also impact the aesthetics and value of our city. You are San Francisco's greatest asset.
