The Svitolina Foundation is a charitable non-profit organization that has been working hard since 2019 to identify and support young talented athletes and create the right conditions for them progress and brighten the future of Ukrainian tennis. Over the past five years, more than 1000 participants have joined the foundation's programs. 

"I am convinced that talented youth need to be fully supported. Tennis has given me a lot, and now it's my turn to help, share my experience and knowledge, and provide new opportunities for those who are just starting. I want to open the door to all sports and particularly tennis for children in my native Ukraine, and perhaps even to create new Ukrainian stars on the world sport scene. Tennis teaches self-discipline and the need to work on yourself daily with full dedication. These skills are valuable not only on the court but also in life,” ES Foundation founder, Elina Svitolina is convinced. 

After the start of Russia's large-scale war against Ukraine in February 2024, the foundation launched new areas of activity: assistance to athletes and their families fleeing the war, a mental health support program for athletes, sports diplomacy, and a series of tournaments with grant support for children living and training in Ukraine. All these projects are delivered with the foundations ethos values of care, respect, openness and collaboration.
