There are two main objectives in establishing the Kooyong Foundation.
- Advancing Kooyong
- Advancing tennis in Australia and internationally
In large part, the objectives are compatible, Kooyong is the traditional
home of tennis in Australia and in so many ways, the history of Kooyong
is itself a history of Australian Tennis.
Essential to the success of the Foundation is its capacity to present to
individuals and corporations a framework, which potential benefactors
accept as a realistic means of achieving the objectives.
With these thoughts uppermost, the first of the worthy projects for The
Kooyong Foundation is the establishment of the Australian Tennis Museum
At Kooyong.
The Foundation also actively supports junior sporting development by
providing sporting scholarships for junior players as well as developing
projects of importance for Kooyong itself.
We are most fortunate in that two of the all-time greats of world
tennis, Frank Sedgman and Evonne Goolagong-Cawley, share our enthusiasm
and have accepted Foundation Directorships. Both look forward to
carrying the Foundation objectives to vast personnel and international
tennis networks.
In summary, The Kooyong Foundation now provides a means by which members
and supporters can direct to Kooyong contributions, bequests or whatever
that we know are often directed else-where simply because Kooyong had no
Foundation.
Foundation Directors are readily available for discussion on a discreet
and confidential basis and further information can be obtained by
contacting the CEO.
All of us look forward to developing, with your support, a Kooyong
contribution to tennis befitting our history.

Society
One of the initiatives undertaken by the Kooyong
Foundation has been the establishment of a bequest
program which invites Kooyong members and others to
remember Kooyong in their Will.
You can specify a particular program or fund to
which your request can be made or you can make a
request unconditionally for use by the Kooyong
Foundation at its discretion.
Programs and projects for support can include the
development of the Australian Tennis Museum at
Kooyong and tennis scholarships for deserving young
players.
