About our Grants


Students at Gerlach Elementary school excitedly receive new library books from a Community Foundation donor advised fund gift.
Currently the Community Foundation of western Nevada manages assets of over $50 million.

We receive funds from individuals and corporations and then make grants to nonprofit organizations to meet current community priorities and prepare for tomorrow's challenges.

There is an application process for grants disbursed from Community Partnership Grant Program. All other grants are specifically disbursed on the advisement of the Donors. On occasion a donor advised fund will publish a request for proposals which you will find on this page.
