About Us
Connecting people who care with causes that matter…
Welcome and thank you for visiting the Nevada Community Foundation, where we have been building a stronger future for Nevada since 1988. In partnership with our family of donors, the Nevada Community Foundation provides financial support to nonprofit organizations and other public charities with themes ranging from the arts to zoos primarily in Nevada but also across our nation.
The concept of a community foundation is as simple as it is brilliant: community foundations empower and strengthen the resources already in the community. We provide an easy and effective way for people to achieve their charitable dreams, whatever they may be. We maximize a donor's gift through cutting-edge planned giving and sound, pooled investing. We keep a finger on the pulse of the community. We solve problems with high impact and thoughtful philanthropy. We open the door for people to come together to address pressing issues and share creative ideas
Our broad experience with charities has made our professional foundation staff extremely well versed on both the needs of this community and the resources that can fulfill those needs. In fact, helping our family of donors match their financial resources to the ever changing community needs is the basis for our existence.
The Nevada Community Foundation is the only community foundation in southern Nevada that meets all Council on Foundations standards of excellence.
