Nevada Community Foundation

Build an ever-lasting legacy of positive change
Reimagine your impact on the community
At Nevada Community Foundation (NCF), our mission is to make the most of your philanthropic giving through innovative, forward-thinking investment strategies.
Instead of 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 guides our mission to maximize the impact of your charitable giving while also helping you establish a lasting legacy for generations to come.
Invest in your community, invest in your future.

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.
