Jordan May joined the Nevada Community Foundation (NCF) in 2025 as a Business Development Associate, bringing a strong background in nonprofit management, fund development, and relationship building. Originally from Portland, Oregon, he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Social and Behavioral Sciences from California State University, Monterey Bay, where he also served as a legislative intern for the California State Assembly—an experience that sparked his commitment to public service.

He went on to earn a Master of Arts in Social Research from Newcastle University in England, where he also competed professionally in the British Basketball League for the Newcastle Eagles. His research explored the intersection of affordable housing development, public discourse, and policy in shaping community outcomes.

Before joining NCF, Jordan worked with the YMCA of Southern Nevada, managing grants and fundraising initiatives that advanced community programs.

Outside of work, Jordan is an avid reader of non-fiction literature and enjoys watching sports and exploring the natural and built landscapes of Southern Nevada.
