Club members can qualify individually for rank-based stipends and other bonuses from the General Fund. The General Fund is the destination for money from Amazon.com and other un-trackable sources, plus a large percentage of every sale made through the Mojave Ranger School system.

The purpose of the General Fund is to provide an account that pays rank-based stipends and Ranger School and Leadership Course Graduate bonuses for our professional trainers, managers and merchants, who create and maintain the immersive environment for students and guests. The General Fund also pays stepped bonuses for team medics and radio operators who get real-world training and certifications.
