A community-driven nonprofit, MVGATE works for our members, not for investors or anybody else. That's why our policies are more liberal than other enrichment programs:

Refunds

MVGATE offers a refund policy that better meets the needs of families and is far more liberal than the typical school enrichment program:

	Town 1 (LCM)	Town 2 (MVPR)	MVGATE
7+ days before class	100% - $10	100% - $20	100%
3+ days before class	0	100% - $20	100%
2+ days before class	0	0	50%
after start of class	0	0	prorated x 50%

Scholarships  

In some towns, half-price scholarships funded by MVGATE are available directly from the registration page.  These scholarships typically are given for the asking, without an application process.  
 
In other towns (e.g. Larkspur-Corte Madera), scholarship codes are available through your principal in a unique cost-sharing collaboration between MVGATE and school districts.

Volunteering  

In many classes, parents can earn free tuition by volunteering in class.
