The Emerald Valley Pickleball Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 2021 to support the fundraising needs of the Emerald Valley Pickleball Club. The Foundation seeks to raise funds to support the expansion of pickleball facilities and programs to benefit pickleball players throughout the region.

 

Current Initiative

 

New Regional Pickleball Complex at Lane Community College (LCC). In June 2022, the Foundation and the Emerald Valley Pickleball Club signed an agreement with LCC that will that will allow for the construction of a state-of-the-art regional pickleball complex on the LCC campus. The facility will be jointly funded by public and private funds, and the Foundation is lead on raising funds for the facility. The complex will have enough courts to meet the needs for drop-in play, leagues, clinics, lessons, and tournaments. We envision a complex similar to the ones shown in the diagrams below, with 16 outdoor courts, 2 outdoor stadium courts, and 8-10 covered courts.
