Donate
Help us build a space for young athletes to thrive & grow.
We believe tennis has the power to shape young lives, strengthen communities and create
opportunities that reach far beyond the court. Please consider donating to one of our charitable
partners.
Donation and Sponsorship Options
Tax-deductible charitable donations may be made through our 501(c)(3) nonprofit partners, the Indianapolis Tennis and Education Foundation (ITEF), and the Rajeev Ram Foundation.
Sponsorship and Naming Rights contributions are made directly to Panther Athletica.

For more than fifty years, Barbara Wynne’s ITEF has used tennis as a vehicle for education and opportunity across Indianapolis. What began in 1969 as a program to bring tennis to city youth has grown into a foundation that develops junior players, teaches life skills and ensures every child has the chance to grow through the game.
Donate to Panther Athletica through the Indianapolis Tennis and Education Foundation
Founded by Indiana's own Rajeev Ram, a six-time major champion and two-time Olympic medalist, the foundation fosters the positive impact of tennis on youth across Indiana — through grants and scholarships for high school teams, aspiring collegiate athletes and high-performance juniors.
Donate to Panther Athletica through the Rajeev Ram Foundation
Panther Athletica is proud to work with ITEF and The Rajeev Ram Foundation, both of which offer tennis scholarships and programs for underserved youth. Clicking "Donate" for this organization on our website, takes you to the Foundation's own secure donation page. Your gift goes directly to ITEF or The Rajeev Ram Foundation to support youth tennis scholarships and programs, including those offered at Panther Athletica’s facility.
