TMVOA has developed a significant grantmaking program and in 2008 awarded more than $600,000. Grants are awarded in several categories including events and social services, with an emphasis on sponsoring organizations that benefit our members through increased activity within Mountain Village. We believe these types of activities enhance the community offerings made available to our overall membership and generate greater economic activity for our commercial members.
