NevadaGIVES History

Through a multi-year grant from New Ventures in Philanthropy, NevadaGIVES was launched as an initiative of the Business Community Investment Council (BCIC) and Nevada Community Foundation in 2003. As the community's interest in NevadaGIVES continued to grow and NevadaGIVES recognized the need to increase its impact, it decided to establish itself as an independent 501(c)(3) public charity in 2007.

Since its establishment as a 501(c)(3) public charity, NevadaGIVES has increased its community outreach in furtherance of its mission. Some of our current community outreach activities include our annual Philanthropy Summit, our annual "Meet the Grantmakers" forum, quarterly Business Community Investment Council (BCIC) luncheons, semi-annual meetings with the Southern Nevada Regional Funders Forum, and our bi-annual Speed Dating for Funders and Nonprofits event.

NevadaGIVES has ambitious plans for the future, including philanthropy promotional campaigns and utilizing technology to connect those with resources to those in need of resources. We look forward to providing you ongoing updates!
