Since July 2011, Jay Gulati has owned the boutique commercial lending and real estate development firm WestEnd Development, based out of Potomac, Maryland. Heavily involved in the community, Jay Gulati spends his spare time helping several charitable organizations, one of which includes the Washington Tennis & Education Foundation (WTEF).
As a premiere organization dedicated to underserved children in the Washington, DC, area, the WTEF seeks to improve the lives of these children by offering athletic and academic opportunities. Founded in 1955, the nonprofit organization keeps children off the streets when they are not in school and offers productive activities. These activities encourage confidence, teach discipline, and encourage an overall healthy lifestyle.
In November 2012, the WTEF opened an East Capitol Campus in the heart of Ward 7 catering to students in northeast and southeast DC. The $10.2 million center offers children offers free tennis lessons, equipment, and court time. Off the court, children receive one-on-one academic tutoring. Coaches award points for good behavior obtained in the classroom or on the court, while they lose points for bad behavior. At the end of the school year, children who obtain enough points may qualify for a trip to a tennis tournament sponsored by the American Tennis Association.
