About the TT4Change Projects

The TT4Change programme supports grassroots organisations, community groups, and local leaders who are addressing real social challenges through table tennis. Support is provided both financially and through capacity building. These challenges may relate to education, health, gender equality, inclusion, disability, social integration, or broader community development.

Through the dedicated TT4Change Fund, the ITTF Foundation provides:

Financial and knowledge support for those who bring local solutions to humanities most pressing problems aligning with UN SDGs, through table tennis.
A biannual call offering grants of up to USD 25,000 per project.
The ITTF Foundation funds 5-6 projects each round.
Each selected project is being supported for 2 to 3 years.

Applications for the Generation 2026 have been closed. The 6 newly selected projects will be launched in the first half of 2026.

Eligble implementation partners

Any legally established and locally recognised non-profit, table tennis, sport, or social organisation with a project of bringing about positive change in its local or regional environment through the means of table tennis.
The ITTF Foundation cannot support individuals directly; the support must go through a supporting or legally established organisation which is able to receive the grant.

Our approach

The projects supported by the TT4Change Fund are based on:

The idea of a collaborative partnership, where every stakeholder contributes to the success of the project.
The Theory of Change (ToC) - a methodology used for planning, participation and evaluation to promote social change, which will be built together with successful candidates.
