About Canarelli Family Foundation
Canarelli Family Foundation’s recent giving shows a strong concentration on Nevada youth, families, and housing-related support, with repeated large grants to organizations serving Las Vegas Valley communities. In the latest grant list, The Shade Tree Incorporated received $180,000 in 2025, while Communities in Schools of Nevada received $171,396 that same year and $146,445 in 2024. Help of Southern Nevada also appears with a $150,000 general grant in 2025, alongside a $100,000 award in 2024 for the Shannon West Homeless Youth Center. The foundation’s support extends across education, health, housing sustainability, arts, and sports, but the recurring pattern is especially visible in grants tied to at-risk, disabled, and underserved youth and families. Its portfolio also includes organizations working with homeless youth, foster youth, veterans, and children with special needs, plus arts and recreation groups serving local participants. Several grantees reappear across multiple years, indicating ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards.
