THE MARGI BARTLING FUND
OUR MISSION: To provide an opportunity to girls to participate in Momentum
Volleyball Club by assisting them to achieve their full potential through the promotion of
leadership, teamwork, friendship, character, goal setting, and self-discipline, regardless
of their ability to pay
The Margi Bartling Fund (the “MB Fund”) was created to give all volleyball players the
opportunity to play volleyball with Momentum Volleyball Club, regardless of their ability to
pay. Momentum Volleyball Club raises money through contributions to the MB Fund and the
sale of sportswear and other items. Money that is allocated or donated to the MB Fund is applied
to player accounts (a) as one or more grants to applicants who have timely submitted an
application, demonstrated a financial need, and been selected to receive a grant by the
Momentum Volleyball Club Board of Directors (the “Board”), and (b) in connection with the
Club’s volunteer work program.
MB Fund Grant
MB Fund grants are (a) awarded by the Board in October of each year, and (b) determined by the
Board in its sole discretion. Grants will only be awarded to those candidates who (a) have
applied on time for a grant and have demonstrated a financial need and (b) agree to participate in
the Club’s volunteer work program for a set number of hours during the Club season
(determined, in part, by the size of the grant awarded to the candidate). Applications will be
available online by September 30, 2015 and should be submitted to the Margi Bartling Fund, c/o
Momentum Volleyball Club, no later than October 16, 2015. Grant applications received after
October 16, 2015 will be excluded from consideration by the Board of Directors.
The Board will review applications and subsequently determine grant awards, if any. Applicants
will be notified of the determination with respect to their application by no later than October 31.
PLEASE NOTE THAT FAILURE TO SUBMIT THE GRANT APPLICATION ON TIME
WILL RESULT IN DISQUALIFICATION OF THE APPLICATION FROM THE REVIEW
PROCESS.

Work Program Rewards (WPR)

work program. For every set number of hours worked in the work program, a player will receive

through the MB Fund. Areas to assist the Club include setting up, and tearing down, tournament
preparations for tournaments hosted by the Club during the season, providing support to
tournament directors during tournaments hosted by the Club, operating the Friday Night Spikes
program, and operating the Foundations program.
