Supports nonprofits by improving access to resources, funding opportunities, and capacity-building services so organizations can increase impact across Nevada.
Nevada Grantlab’s recent grantmaking is defined by technical assistance: 15 of its top 15 recent grants in 2025 were marked for that purpose, with awards landing mostly in Nevada-based nonprofits. The pattern points to a funder that supports organizations by strengthening how they operate, not only by writing program checks. In the latest grants list, High Sierra Ahec in Reno received $17,397, the largest recent award shown, while several Las Vegas organizations received repeated $15,000 grants. That group includes The Just One Project, Help of Southern Nevada, Future Smiles, and Baby’s Bounty, each tied to technical assistance. The foundation also backed organizations serving different parts of Nevada’s civic and social infrastructure, from health access and mental health to food support and youth services. Its stated approach emphasizes access to resources, funding opportunities, and capacity-building services so nonprofits can increase impact across the state. With annual grants of $227,509 and total assets of $13,716,751, Nevada Grantlab appears to operate as a local funder with a consistent emphasis on organizational strength and service delivery.
Health and social support are visible in the recent grants list. High Sierra Ahec in Reno received $17,397 for technical assistance, and Future Smiles in Las Vegas received $15,000 for the same purpose. The grant records also show support for community organizations working in family and safety-net services: Help of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas and The Children’s Cabinet in Reno each received $15,000, both for technical assistance. Nevada Grantlab’s broader focus areas include health, human services, youth, food and nutrition, housing, and workforce development, which matches the mix of recent recipients. The foundation also backed Nami Southern Nevada in Las Vegas and Aid for Aids Nevada in Las Vegas, indicating attention to behavioral health and HIV/AIDS-related community support within its Nevada-centered portfolio.
The typical grant size is fixed at $15,000, with p25, median, and p75 all at $15,000. That clustering suggests a highly standardized grant pattern. The recent list also shows a small number of awards slightly above that level, including $17,397 to High Sierra Ahec and $15,112 to The Cupcake Girls. The grants shown are all from 2025, so the data reflects a current-cycle snapshot rather than a multi-year series. Nevada Grantlab is classified as a regular funder, and the available records do not show individual giving or program-related investments. The grant descriptions emphasize technical assistance, which fits the foundation’s capacity-building orientation.
