Who we are
I Tennis Foundation
The I TENNIS FOUNDATION is a non-profit organization created for humanitarian purposes by a group of professionals, managers and experts in the field of sports, education and medical science.
The main goal is to provide children from less fortunate families with the possibility of having a sports education like children belonging from wealthy families.
The most talented children will have the opportunity of emerging in sports and life.
”The main goal is giving to children from less fortunate families the possibility of having an academic and sports education like children belonging from wealthy families”
Founded by Simone Bongiovanni, lawyer with a passion for tennis and young talents, the board of the foundation is composed of around 10 persons, among which there are several professionals, lawyers, academics, managers in different areas, experts in the field of sports, education and medical science.
The association is supported by leading professional firms in Turin and by an auditor, appointed to check its activity and the accuracy of its accounts in relation to the humanitarian aims set forth.
Mission
We give an opportunity to those who do not have the possibilities
This is the goal of the I Tennis Foundation, an Italian charitable organization that operates on an international non-profit basis.
A mission above all: to promote, exclusively pro bono, the tennis training of talented children, but without means as they come from undeprivileged geo-political, economic and social contexts.
The programming of the interventions is done annually based on the opportunities and ideas to promote the talent of less fortunate children, providing also educational support
The Intesa Sanpaolo Assicura Little Tennis Champions 2022-2023 project was conceived and launched by I Tennis after specific analysis of the Tennis Junior market, following discussions with industry experts and and a number of travels to European countries.
Local operators, for example, have repeatedly told us that many families would like to have their children access the tennis sector but this is prevented by the critical economic situation in which they find themselves and by the limited nature of the sports facilities.
Vision
Enlarge the access doors to sports to young talents and to facilitate them in their personal training
Inspired by the great world champions who have left their origins behind to meet a luckier destiny, it is no coincidence that we have chosen tennis.
A discipline that enhances the qualities of sacrifice and teaches the importance of tactics.
A sport as popular as it is noble, tennis allows everyone to take the field challenging themselves and others, competing equally.
Meritocracy and solidarity are two basic values of the Intesa Sanpaolo Assicura LTC 2022-2023 scholarship programme, that will enable young talents to enter the tennis and professional circuits.
