The Alan and Christy Molasky Charitable Foundation appears to combine a strong focus on Southern Nevada community needs with selective support for large national causes. A large share of grants fund local human services—homelessness, housing, emergency shelter, food security and hospice care—while several sizable gifts go to health, conservation and civil rights organizations. They support a mix of operating/general program needs and targeted local initiatives, often funding established nonprofits that deliver direct services in Las Vegas.
A defining feature of the Alan and Christy Molasky Charitable Foundation is its concentrated support for Southern Nevada service providers, paired with larger gifts to a handful of national organizations. In 2025, it gave $50,000 to Nathan Adelson Hospice Foundation in Las Vegas for general support and $30,000 to Planned Parenthood in Las Vegas for general support, alongside other local grants for housing, shelter, food, education and family services. The pattern points to a foundation that backs direct-service nonprofits as well as organizations working on community coordination and public health. The foundation’s recent giving also includes $70,000 to Conservation International Foundation for general support and $50,000 to American Red Cross for general program support, showing that its portfolio is not limited to Nevada-based recipients. Even so, every listed grant in the current data went to U.S. recipients, and the grant list is dominated by Las Vegas-area nonprofits. That mix of local human services and selective national support is the clearest signature in the available grant data.
Housing and homelessness are recurring priorities. The foundation gave $15,000 in 2024 and $14,500 in 2023 to Nevada Housing Coalition for general support, and it also awarded $10,000 in 2025 to Nevada Homeless Alliance to advocate, educate and coordinate homelessness efforts across the private, public and nonprofit sectors. Food and basic-needs work appears alongside shelter funding. Three Square received $20,000 in 2025 for supplementary food to seniors through coordinated living facilities and general support, while Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada received $5,000 for food, shelter and comprehensive services. Health-related grants include $20,000 to Susan G Komen Nevada for breast health education, cancer screening and support programs, plus national research support, and $50,000 to Nathan Adelson Hospice Foundation for general support. The foundation also gave $5,000 to St Jude's Children's Research for program support to help children battle cancer and other deadly diseases.
Typical grants cluster tightly around a narrow range: p25 is $14,625, median is $14,750, and p75 is $14,875. That concentration suggests a fairly standardized check size, even though the list also includes a few larger awards. The recent record shows repeat giving to Nevada Housing Coalition in 2023 and 2024, indicating some ongoing relationships rather than only one-off gifts. The foundation does not fund individuals and makes no program-related investments, so its activity is in institutional grantmaking rather than direct aid to people. The available data does not show an application process.

Moderately diversified: many mid-sized local grants across social service and education nonprofits with a handful of larger, one-off gifts to national health, conservation and civil-rights organizations. Mix of repeat local grantees and single-year donations; emphasis on operating/program support rather than small pilot grants.
Notable grantees: Conservation International Foundation, Nathan Adelson Hospice Foundation, Nevada Housing Coalition, Three Square (Las Vegas food bank), Anti-Defamation League
All listed grants in the current data went to U.S. recipients, and 100% of grants were awarded to organizations in Nevada. Las Vegas appears most often, with grants also going to North Las Vegas and Boulder City. Outside the state, the only recipient cities in the recent list are Washington, Arlington, New York, Wheaton, Memphis, and Tampa, each appearing on a single grant. The geographic profile is therefore strongly local at the recipient level, with a small set of national out-of-state awards.
Yes. Nevada Housing Coalition appears in both 2023 and 2024 recent grants, with awards of $14,500 and $15,000 for general support. That suggests at least some recipients receive support across multiple years rather than only once.
