Community Foundation of Northern Nevada

We connect people who care with causes that matter.

Connect your business and philanthropy with the Community Foundation of Northern Nevada.

The Community Foundation of Northern Nevada has distributed more than 230 million in grants and scholarships, most of it right here in our region. Over 300 separate charitable funds, created by individuals, families, nonprofits, and businesses, make up the Community Foundation. We are a local organization with deep roots in the community.

Everything the Community Foundation does is designed to strengthen our community and deepen your connection to it. People come to us to make their charitable giving more efficient. We offer personalized service and accept a wide variety of gifts. Our charitable gift planning experts help people create their legacies through charitable bequests and tax-wise charitable planned estate gifts. We serve as a resource for nonprofits, helping them build their endowments.

Our business is building community. Community Foundation initiatives bring residents together to address widespread issues. Currently, we are conducting two initiatives. The Caregiver Support Initiative connects family caregivers with helpful resources, and the Financial Scams Initiative helps educate about deceptive scams. We invest in the long term and bring people and organizations together to learn about and impact local issues.
