Who are we? 

The Marcia Mounsey Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in 1997 committed to providing musical, athletic, and cultural opportunities for children in Northwest Denver.

 

The MMF partners with local families by granting partial scholarships for private training in extra-curricular activities like music, sports, art, and dance.  Scholarship recipients have honed their skills on a variety of musical instruments, as well as on the soccer field, balance beam, and track. 

 

The Foundation also cooperates with local organizations to sponsor events which encourage development in these same areas, such as 5-K races, basketball camps, musical events, and poetry readings in local area schools.

 

Since 1997 the Foundation has distributed over $100,000 in scholarships to hundreds of talented young people. 

 

The Foundation has no paid staff, and all proceeds go directly to helping young people. We are a 501©3 organization, and all donations are tax deductible.

 

 Why do we remember Marcia Mounsey? 

Marcia Mounsey was an active violinist, gymnast, and high-jumper who grew up in Northwest Denver.  Marcia was acutely aware of the many advantages her parents had provided her in the form of private training in music and athletics.  She often expressed a wish that more of her friends and classmates had the same opportunities.  When illness cut her life short at the age of 17 in April of 1997, her family and friends saw the Marcia Mounsey Foundation as a natural extension of Marcia’s passion and generosity in life.  In her memory, friends and family have made donations to this cause, and the network of caring people grows yearly.
