Nevada Community Foundation

Build an ever-lasting legacy of positive change
Reimagine your impact on the community
Our mission is to steward our donors’ charitable giving, now and for generations to come and to provide leadership, vision and impactful community investment for Southern Nevada. NCF administers more than 150 charitable funds with nearly $250 million in assets and has been awarded The Community Foundations National Standards Accreditation Seal.
We believe philanthropy can be a powerful force for positive change, and we help donors reimagine their approach to charitable giving. Instead of following traditional methods of grant-making and transactional philanthropy, NCF takes a more strategic approach.
We see charitable giving as a one-to-many proposition, not a one-to-one exchange. This idea is what guides our mission to maximize the impact of donors’ charitable giving while helping them establish lasting legacies for generations to come.
Invest in your community, invest in your future.

Nevada Community Foundation was incorporated in 1989 with a $1M endowment. Since then, NCF donors have given more than $250M to causes they care about, driving meaningful community impact across Southern Nevada.
In the last 15 years, we’ve grown from $15M in asset size to over $250M—an increase of more than 1500%. Today, NCF is one of the 100 largest community foundations in the country, and we’re recognized as a four-star organization by Charity Navigator, scoring a 100% trust rating.
We’re humbled to be the stewards of our donors’ charitable giving. It’s a crucial responsibility we take seriously.
