Beneficiary Application

If you are interested in being considered for TSO’s Beneficiary grant, please fill out the online application below.

INSTRUCTIONS & INFORMATION:

In submitting this Grant Application, you are applying for consideration as a grant recipient from funds raised at TSO’s Annual Gala & Wimbledon Tournament (typically held in June).

Applications are due January 8, 2024. Former TSO grant recipients of more than $1,000 in the previous year are not eligible to apply until Fall of the next year. Additionally, if your grant was greater than $5000, you are not eligible to apply again for 5 years.

To be considered, please complete the following application by January 8, 2024. All complete applications will be reviewed by our Beneficiary Committee and the Tennis Serves Others Board of Directors. Incomplete or late applications will not be considered. If selected as a potential finalist by the Beneficiary Committee, in late January you will be asked to provide a compelling 3-minute video about your organization. These videos will be circulated to our full membership for voting. TSO reserves the right to award two equal grants. The grant amount will be determined after the annual Gala and Tournament fundraisers. No specific grant amounts are guaranteed.

If you were chosen as one of our primary beneficiaries, would your organization be able to:

  • Create a short 3 minute video on your organization and need for a TSO grant?
  • Advertise our event on your social media sites?
  • Post our event on your website?
  • Attend our fundraising event?
  • Attend our membership meeting where beneficiaries will receive their check and present how the funds will specifically be used to serve others in their organization?
  • Contribute an auction item?

  • Applications can be saved and completed at a later time. Select SAVE AND CONTINUE LATER at the bottom of the form.
    • IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended to copy and save the link that is generated when the SAVE AND CONTINUE LATER option is selected. Please follow the detailed instructions provided when you select SAVE AND CONTINUE LATER.

2024 Beneficiaries

Waymakers – Offers individuals, families and communities the steadiest, surest, safest pathways to promising outcomes.
A University of California, Irvine professor, a few of his students and a Costa Mesa Police Department captain recognized the need to provide diversion counseling for delinquent youth and their families. As pioneers working within local law enforcement agencies, their efforts led to the creation of a new non-profit serving at risk youth in Orange County. Whether redirecting youth offenders, helping sheltered children get back on track, unifying troubled families, resolving community conflicts or empowering victims of violence, Waymakers clears the path so clients can advance beyond crisis.

Queen of Hearts Therapeutic Riding Center – A therapeutic riding center for persons with special needs.
Queen of Hearts Therapeutic Riding Center, Inc.’s mission is to improve the bodies, minds, spirits, and quality of life of persons with physical and/or developmental disabilities and/or mental illnesses through equine-assisted activities and therapies. All age students are accepted, and generally referred by physicians, therapists, and loved ones. Therapy sessions with the horses are individualized and developed and regularly assessed by our professional staff. A few of the disabling conditions our clients deal with include cerebral palsy, spina bifida, paraplegia, developmental and learning disabilities. While horse therapy is fairly new in therapeutic fields, its value is becoming more and more recognized and sought after. As we at the Queen of Hearts Therapeutic Riding Center track our clients’ progress and watch their joy as they regain a significant range of motion, we are amazed and gratified.
