Charities and Community Foundations That Give Grants in Nevada
These 29 organizations are not private foundations. They are charities based in Nevada that give grants to other nonprofits and report them on Form 990 Schedule I -- community foundations, United Ways and federated funds, hospital and university foundations, and operating charities that regrant. Each gave to at least 20 organizations we could identify and filed a return covering 2023 or later.
Ordered by number of organizations funded. A grantmaker supporting sixty groups is a more realistic prospect than one writing two very large cheques, which is why this is not ranked by dollars.
