We provide scholarships that remove economic obstacles associated with competitive snow sports. Through donations, grants, and sponsorships, The Northstar Team Foundation will continue to increase funding so every athlete has the opportunity to reach their potential in sport and in life
Funds for scholarships are raised from targeted fundraising initiatives, donor-directed funds. NTF makes it a priority to raise funds for, and give out as many scholarships as possible in a given year.

Andy McDowell
The Andy McDowell Foundation continues the legacy of the organization’s namesake by fostering passion for the outdoors through access to snow sports for Tahoe-area youth. Any kid who is enthusiastic about time spent on the mountain should have the chance to get on the hill, regardless of their financial circumstances. Our mission is to open doors to snow sports for as many kids as possible – exactly how Andy would want it.
Special thanks to Community Partners that support our athletes
