Begin Planning Your Legacy

Legacy Society

The Legacy Society honors those individuals and families that have chosen to include the Foundation in their estate plans or in a planned gift arrangement. Their generosity will not only benefit future generations but will also help build awareness of what is possible through charitable giving vehicles. Gifts received through an individual's planned giving instrument help build our endowment, assuring a strong and sustaining future for the community.  

If you have included the Nevada Community Foundation in your estate plans, please let us know so that we may acknowledge and thank you.

The Youth Philanthropy Program

The Nevada Community Foundation's unique Youth Philanthropy Program encourages and promotes philanthropy among a select group of young adults.  It provides an opportunity for young adults to explore and learn about charitable giving and community needs, and to develop their philanthropic values.

NCF Youth Philanthropy Program Awards 2008 Grants (3/31/08)

In late March, the 14 members of the 2008 Youth Philanthropy Program concluded their charitable giving program by announcing two separate grant awards: A $5,000 grant to Center for Independent Living; and an $11,000 grant to Noah's Animal House at The Shade Tree.  Congratulations to the winners!  If you are interested in your children participating in the Youth Philanthropy Program, please look for announcements this summer on our web site.
