VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENT

If you are awarded a MMCF Team Fee Reimbursement Scholarship, the MMCF team requires a minimum of four hours of volunteer help in the coming year for each child that receives a scholarship (1 child = 4 hours / 2 children = 8 hours). 

MMCF has three key events each year that we look for volunteers:

  • Mammoth Invitational

  • Mammoth Wine Weekend

  • Mammoth Gran Fondo

SCHOLARSHIP FAQ

  • If our team requests additional tax documentation, we strongly encourage you to redact your SSN before sending the documents to our team.

  • No problem, you can submit the two previous years AGI information.

  • To better understand your financial need, we ask that you estimate your net worth of your household - excluding your primary residence and retirement accounts.  You will need to add up your total cash in all accounts, investments, business equity, real estate equity, and trust funds.  

    You don't need to provide us with the actual figure, you just need to let us know where it falls in the following three options:

    • Net worth is under $100,000

    • Net worth is between $100,000 and $300,000

    • Net worth is over $300,000

  • Scholarship tiered amounts are determined by your family's adjusted gross income and Household Net Worth.

    The amount awarded per tier will be dependent on the number of applications submitted vs the number of applications per tier vs budget available at MMCF.

    The following is our general guidelines for AGI that determine which Tier you will likely fall into.

    < $61,600 = Tier 1

    $61,600 - $106,700 = Tier 2

    $106,700 - $178,640 = Tier 3

    > $178,640 = Tier 3 (families of 5+)
