HELPING youth through TENNIS 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) charitable organization, with it becoming the Rajeev Ram Foundation in 2022. Today, the foundation:

• Supports tennis programs that create positive environments for under-resourced youth in Indiana.

• Provides tennis-related scholarships to student-athletes and grants to K-12 Indiana schools.

• Empowers youth from diverse cultural backgrounds through tennis and educational programs, fostering growth, inclusiveness, and lifelong opportunities.

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

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.
