Fundraising Momentum The organization has demonstrated strong fundraising activity, including a $1.4M record-breaking gala in 2022 and a $1M investment from Pershing Square Foundation, indicating readiness for high-impact partnerships and donor-backed sponsorships.

Scale and Reach As the largest youth tennis and education non-profit in the U.S. serving 85,000 NYC youth across all five boroughs, NYJTL presents broad access to a diverse, student-aged audience with potential for multi-program sponsorships, tech-enabled learning, and scalable initiatives.

Educational-Health Synergy Strategic partnerships in education, mental health, and wellness (including a dedicated social worker and collaborations with Inspiretek and Festival of New York) create opportunities for integrated programs combining tennis, SEL, and mental health services for youth.

Digital and Data Opportunities Existing tech footprint (Facebook Pixel, Google Maps, Brevo, LinkedIn) and broad community footprint can support enhanced donor journeys, personalized marketing, and data-driven sponsorship activations across flagship centers like the Cary Leeds Center.

Leadership and Philanthropy New leadership hires in philanthropy and a strategic fundraising posture signal ongoing donor cultivation needs; potential partners can engage in program sponsorship, cause marketing, and grant-aligned initiatives with clearly defined impact metrics.
