Austin Pickleball Courts Fundraising Campaign: The Austin Minnesota Area Pickleball Association (AMAPA) has launched its 2025 fundraising campaign to build outdoor pickleball courts. The effort begins with two grant awards: $25,000 from the Taylor Family Farms Foundation and $10,000 from the Astrup Family Foundation/Sterling Pharmacy. AMAPA aims to raise $150,000 to start construction in 2026.
AMAPA’s Fundraising Efforts
Since starting the fundraiser in 2024, AMAPA has raised more than $75,000 toward the project. The Taylor Family Farms Foundation grant encourages community support and further donations from individuals, businesses, and other groups. The Astrup Family Foundation, which previously gave AMAPA $5,000, added another $10,000 this year.
How to Support the Project
AMAPA invites foundations, businesses, and individuals to contribute to their goal. Donations can be made through a GoFundMe page set up by the association. The group hopes that enough funds will be collected to begin building the new pickleball courts in 2026.
Why This Matters
The new outdoor courts will support the growing interest in pickleball in Austin, Minnesota. Having a dedicated facility will provide players with better places to play and help grow the sport locally. This project is a step toward improving community recreation options.
