Dayton Pickleball Foundation


WE ARE A DAYTON NONPROFIT THAT PROMOTES PICKLEBALL IN THE COMMUNITY

Founded in 2024, the Dayton Pickleball Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to growing and improving pickleball across the Dayton area.

Our Mission

Our mission is to make pickleball accessible to everyone in the Dayton area by expanding public places to play and offering free instruction for all ages. We believe the sport builds community, promotes healthy living, and should be available to all.

What we do

Pickleball is America’s fastest-growing sport, but courts can’t keep up. We bring Dayton’s pickleball community together to create more places to play—converting underused spaces now and fundraising for tournament-quality courts in the future.

Your support helps us:

  • Provide free paddles, balls, and lessons for beginners
  • Repurpose existing courts (about $2,000 each)
  • Build new, dedicated courts (about $30,000 each)

Today: more play spaces. Tomorrow: world-class courts.
