During 2025, Essex Grassroots Tennis & Education successfully expanded and strengthened its core youth development programming, delivering year-round tennis instruction, academic enrichment, and a six-week summer camp for underserved youth in Essex County, New Jersey. Through these programs, EGTE provided consistent access to high-quality athletic training, educational support, and life-skills development for more than 200 children, most of whom participated at little or no cost. Programming was delivered in partnership with local schools, community centers, and municipal recreation departments, ensuring accessibility across Newark, East Orange, and Irvington. Participants demonstrated growth in tennis skills, increased academic engagement, and improved confidence, discipline, and teamwork. EGTE also continued to emphasize holistic youth development by integrating mentorship, wellness education, and character-building activities throughout all program offerings. These efforts reflect EGTE's ongoing commitment to expanding equitable access to sports and education while positively impacting the long-term outcomes of the youth and families it serves.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
