APPENDIX A Administered by the International Tennis Federation The Grand Slam Development Fund was established in 1985 by the International Tennis Federation from contributions donated by the Grand Slam tournaments to provide assistance to affiliated National Tennis Associations with the development of competitive tennis. Since then over US$52 million has been invested in tennis development worldwide, of which a significant proportion has been directed towards women’s tennis. The Grand Slam Development Fund is designed to help increase competitive opportunities worldwide by encouraging the establishment of tournament circuits, which will provide opportunities for a greater number of players to compete internationally, and, through touring teams and travel grants, to assist players to gain international competitive experience so that more nations will be represented in the mainstream of international competition. Only Member Nations may apply to the ITF for grants from the Grand Slam Development Fund. Applications must be submitted by National Associations in writing on the appropriate form (which is available upon request from the ITF London office). National Associations benefiting from the Grand Slam Development Fund are required to publicise their event as being “supported by the Grand Slam Development Fund”. Applications for assistance may be made for: a) A contribution towards the prize money at $10,000 and $25,000 ITF Women’s Circuit tournaments. b) Special prize money grants are available for existing $10,000 events to upgrade to $25,000 and $50,000 events. All events must be organised in accordance with the Regulations for the ITF Women’s Circuit and sanctioned by the National and/or Regional Association concerned. Full details of the Grand Slam Development Fund together with application forms are available on request from:- Executive Director, Tennis Development International Tennis Federation Bank Lane Roehampton London SW15 5XZ Telephone: (44) 20 8878 6464 Fax: (44) 20 8392 4742 E-mail: development@itftennis.com 65
