Nevada Community Foundation - A Clear and Tailored Path to Philanthropy 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 History 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.

A Few of the Many Funds We Are Proud to Work With: Regional Young Women’s Leadership Expo The Regional Young Women’s Leadership Expo (The Expo) is an annual event designed to ignite… The Nevada COVID-19 Task Force was created in March 2020 to create a pathway for… A research and public policy institute housed at NCF, with the specific mission to advance… The Esperanza Fund was created in late 2020 to bring hope to a community in… “I’ve had occasion to work with the team at NCF up close and personal.

They are consummate professionals, dedicated to serving their donors and the Southern Nevada community.

” “By engaging Nevada Community Foundation in the early stages of the pandemic, The Nevada COVID-19 Response, Relief and Recovery Task Force was able to focus our efforts on the important work of providing PPE to our front-line healthcare workers and building support structures around the most vulnerable members of our community, easing the strain on Nevadans and our medical community.

” I reach out to NCF and Gian Brosco when I have clients who are charitably inclined. They educate me around the different options available to my clients (even if it’s not with NCF). They do it quickly.

And they do it in a way that makes me look good in front of my clients. Gian and the team at NCF consistently add value to my client relationships and to my practice. The work of the World Boxing Council (WBC) is international in scope.

We support fighters and families from every corner of the boxing community. To do so, we need a team that is flexible, fast and easy to work with. Jane Ramos and the team at NCF are critical to our ability to fulfill our mission.

They are a pleasure to partner with in this important work! NCF makes sure my grants are being used the way we intended by the charitable organizations we support. Moreover, they look for ways to increase the impact of our giving at every opportunity.

Finally, we have peace of mind knowing that the community foundation is there to steward our children’s philanthropy and protect our family’s charitable legacy long after we’re gone. As a former estate planning attorney, himself, Gian Brosco (CEO of NCF) “gets it”. He and the team at NCF are responsive, flexible and professional.

Whenever I introduce them to a client, they add value to the relationship and serve as a great partner and resource for my practice. Learn how an investment today can build a legacy for a lifetime. Nevada Community Foundation
