About the Foundation

The Wimbledon Foundation, established in 2013, is the charity of The All England Lawn Tennis Club and The Championships. The Foundation builds on the success of an extensive programme of community and charitable activities over a number of years.

The aim of the Wimbledon Foundation is to help change people’s lives using the resources and heritage of Wimbledon. We do this through:

- PLAYING: Using the power of sport, particularly tennis, to advance young people’s personal development.

- GIVING: Making a valuable contribution to meeting social needs, especially in our local community of Merton and Wandsworth

- LEARNING: Using Wimbledon’s unique heritage, in conjunction with the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum, to support the education of young people.

The Wimbledon Foundation manages a significant programme of grants to charities each year in support of the Foundation’s objectives.

Support given to the Wimbledon Foundation by the All England Club and The Championships is in addition to the fact that every year the large majority of the financial surplus of The Championships is passed to the Lawn Tennis Association or its group for the development of tennis at all levels in Britain.
