Imagine how far we can go and what we can do—together!
Contributing to the Community Endowment through the Campaign for Our Community is a way to create change in many areas, over many years, with one act of kindness.
Why Give
Together your gift, when combined over time with your neighbors’ and friends’ gifts will grow to a deep and unending resource to meet pressing community needs. Your gift will make it possible to help in times of crisis. Your gift will address the entrenched problems that take time and money to change.
We cannot know what challenges our grandchildren will face. We do know that a gift to the Community Endowment will always be important to our region, and most of all, available when needed.
How to Give Today to Change Tomorrow
Our community needs people like you. You care about our future. You want to see Nevada thrive. The Community Foundation of Western Nevada makes it possible for you to make a meaningful gift. Your gift may be as simple as writing a check, clicking a button, or it may require more forethought and planning.
A Fund for Our Community
The Community Foundation of Western Nevada created the Community Endowment to build a never-ending resource of charitable funds. The Community Endowment is not a gift for our children. It is a legacy that we will pass on to them. They can use the Community Endowment grants to create positive outcomes, and address the challenges of their time.
A Fund For Good. Forever.
The Campaign for Our Community has a simple goal—to raise $10 million for an endowment that will yield more than $400,000 annually, and grow continually, to address community concerns as they arise and take care of our region long into the future. Today. Tomorrow. Every year. Forever.
