IDAHO TENNIS FOUNDATION

Idaho Tennis Foundation Inc. was incorporated in 1974 as a nonprofit organization dedicated to growing the game of tennis, especially with youth, in Idaho. By working closely with the Idaho Tennis Association, the United States Tennis Association, and Idaho-based community tennis associations (or CTAs) , the Foundation identifies programs that would best promote this mission. It then develops fundraising efforts that not only raise money for the program(s) identified, but also help carry the Foundation’s mission forward.

The Foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors which meets approximately once a month, and an Executive Director who manages the day-to-day operations. Idaho Tennis Foundation is recognized as exempt as set forth in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

2010 BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Bruce Goslovich, Board President (CPA and avid Treasure Valley player)
Heather Silverman, Secretary (Idaho Falls)
John Heinrich (Sun Valley /Ketchum)
Mark Tichenor (Treasurer Valley, Boise State University’s Women’s Tennis Team head coach)
Carrie Reed (Twin Falls)
Todd Miller (Treasure Valley, liaison to Idaho Tennis Association’s Board of Directors)
Matthew Warren (Executive Director of Idaho Tennis Association)

WHAT DOES THE FOUNDATION FUND?

Idaho Tennis Foundation has adopted a gifting policy which stipulates that its grants, in accordance with the Idaho Tennis Association strategic plan, will focus on marketing, community tennis, junior tennis, adult tennis, and special events.

In 2008, the Foundation decided that the Tennis Is Elementary program , aimed at introducing tennis to grade-school children at their local elementary schools, would do much to spread its message. TiE, patterned after the USTA QuickStart program, offers Idaho elementary schools the flexibility to fit an introductory tennis program into their existing after-school activities. The indoor program uses large foam balls and smaller courts, which is designed to get younger hitting immediately. The emphasis is on movement and having fun.

The first TiE pilot programs in the Treasure Valley have been very successful. Immediate sellouts and waiting lists have been the norm.

WHAT WE NEED

In a word, cash. TiE equipment is readily available, instructors have been trained, and schools are lining up to implement the program. Now we need to help make the program affordable. Examples of possible funding levels are below. But any donation would be greatly appreciated!
$600 – to buy the equipment needed for a program to be put into a school
$200 – to pay the instructors for a four week class
