We completed the Propel Nonprofits service that helps organizations achieve capacity-building to support their missions throughout their organizational cycle. We share their vision of promoting tennis by partnering with other NJTL's whenever possible.
The SW Foundation has proven to be a major connector between PASS and the USTA. They have provide funding through general grants and specific resources like sponsorships for community events, staff joining us at school programs and travel assistance for USTA Team Tennis. In return, PASS students become USTA members, serve in community events and volunteer as Ball kids at Sun Devil and AZ Classic matches. Win-win!
This Title 1 school is in close proximity to the Phoenix Tennis Center (PTC). As our first Net Generation Partner School, we have given over two weeks of tennis to the 250 students in their PE program. We helped coordinate entire school to visit Arizona State University and have recruited many students to join our program because of this and family friendly community events. Bennett Academy will become our second full partner school in late 2022.

The City of Phoenix owns the Phoenix Tennis Center, and Ragland Tennis Services has managed the facility since September 2019. Ragland Tennis allowed PASS to teach classes on site in November 2020. Today, The PTC is the 'Official Home of PASS.' It was always a dream of Director Joe Ragland to have USTA sponsored nonprofit program be part of the facility because a program like PASS is what introduced him to tennis in his youth. The partnership has been a win-win for both organizations as they work together to bring tennis to the local community.
PASS (Programs for After School Success) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit program and is completely funded by community donations and philanthropic giving.
