Key takeaways

  • Its stated priority is Nevada, and it funds education, youth development, healthcare access, food security, mentorship and community initiatives, so a Nevada project in one of these areas is the clearest fit.
  • Most of its grants to organisations are modest: half of its 40 were $10,000 or less, and the typical band runs from $500 to $42,000, so a request near the middle of that range suits it best, though its largest grant was about $110,000, so the band is not a ceiling.
  • Applications are rolling and go through the Get support form, which asks you to describe the project, its expected benefits, who will be affected and the support sought, with an estimated funding request if applicable.
  • In its most recent filing, 82% of grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in one of the two earlier filings, so giving looks relationship-led; a first approach should show the practical, measurable and lasting impact the foundation says it values, and a new applicant should not be put off by that.
