MAKING TENNIS ACCESSIBLE TO ALL

The Rajeev Ram Foundation supports young tennis players by funding grants for high school teams, college athletes, and high-performance players. We also promote programs that teach winning attitudes in tennis and life, and work to make tennis more accessible for Indiana families.

HELPING TENNIS YOUTH SINCE 2014

The Rajeev Ram Foundation started as EntouRaj for Kids in 2010 when Carmel, Indiana–based professional tennis player Rajeev Ram partnered with a local tennis organization to raise money for college scholarships and tennis programs.

In 2014, EntouRaj for Kids became an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit or charitable organization and was rebranded as the Rajeev Ram Foundation in 2022.

In years past, EntouRaj lured Rajeev’s professional tennis colleagues to Central Indiana for exhibition matches so tennis fans across the Midwest could experience top-notch tennis up close.

Our guests have included retired and active ATP and WTA touring pros Andy Roddick, Bob and Mike Bryan, Alison Riske, Jennifer Brady, James Blake, Tommy Paul, Denis Kudla, and Eric Butorac. Star athletes, like Women’s Basketball Hall of Famer Tamika Catchings, have also participated and supported Rajeev on the court.

The foundation uses proceeds from these events to fund grants for Indiana tennis teams and players seeking support to play their best.
