What it says it does
The Mirage Mens Club Foundation Inc MMCF was formed in 2019. All our members reside in the Four Seasons at Mirage an age-restricted community of 1,200 single family homes in southeastern New Jersey near the Jersey Shore. What began as a social club in 2001 was reorganized in 2019 into a nonprofit. Upon its formation our mission remains to support charitable giving outside the gates of our community and into the greater Barnegat Township and surrounding communities. The MMCF members of which there are currently over 200 meet nine times a year and organize five fundraising events annually to promote charitable causes in Barnegat and nearby communities. The MMCF members work to identify local charitable causes with which it can assist either financially or through member-volunteers.

Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (3)
- $1,142 spent. Food for Needy Families. We have a strong working relationship with the Barnegat Board of Education. Each year we ask the school administrators to provide us with the names of two households three times a year around the major holidays so that we can purchase their food for holiday dinner. Our members will reach out to the needy family to learn what they want in the way of food. Then our members will shop at a local supermarket for each family and deliver the food to their door. We helped six families in 2025 at a cost of $1,142.
- College Scholarships. We firmly believe that education is key to success. In 2025 we gave three Barnegat High School Seniors $1,500 each towards their first-year tuition. The criteria we ask the school administrators to apply is that the graduating senior must be motivated to pursue a college or trade school education at least a solid B GPA student and needs our financial assistance to pursue their post-secondary education. The MMCF Board of Directors has no involvement in the selection of these student-recipients. The annual grant in 2025 was $4,500.
- Support Local Food Pantries. We believe strongly in supporting efforts to eliminate food insecurity in the greater Barnegat Community. Last year we donated a total $3,300 to the Barnegat Food Pantry St Francis Human Concerns on Long Beach Island St Vincent de Paul Food Pantry also in Barnegat and to the Military Support Alliance Food Warriors at Joint Base MDL here in New Jersey. We also organized a Mirage Community Food Drive in November collecting 2,090 pounds of non-perishable food donations and distributing all this food to the three food pantries in Barnegat.
