    About Nevada Volunteers

    Nevada Volunteers uses AmeriCorps as the backbone of its grantmaking, with the largest recent awards going to Truckee Meadows Parks Foundation and Great Basin Institute, both in Reno. The foundation’s recent record shows a steady flow of service funding across Nevada organizations, from environmental and public-service placements to local community infrastructure. Its work is rooted in administering national service resources and connecting those resources to Nevada-based nonprofits, public agencies, and community partners. The grant record is dominated by AmeriCorps awards, including repeat support for several organizations over multiple years. Nevada Volunteers also runs Volunteer Generation Fund initiatives that help organizations build volunteer management capacity, increase recruitment and retention, and host Days of Service. Those programs sit alongside a broader service agenda that includes anti-poverty priorities, education, health, housing, veterans and military families, and environmental stewardship. Recent recipients include City of Las Vegas, Walker Basin Conservancy, Nevada Outdoor School, and United Way of Northern Nevada. Across the portfolio, the foundation appears to favor service infrastructure over direct individual aid, using grants to support staff, members, volunteer systems, and technical assistance. That gives its funding a practical, operating-oriented character: organizations receive resources to deliver service, manage volunteers, and expand local capacity within Nevada communities.

    What Nevada Volunteers Funds

    Nevada Volunteers gives heavily through AmeriCorps-linked awards that support service delivery and organizational capacity. It funded City of Las Vegas for AmeriCorps in 2025 and 2024, and also supported City of Henderson through the same channel, showing a pattern of backing public-sector partners that host service placements. Its environmental and land stewardship work is visible in grants to Walker Basin Conservancy and Truckee Meadows Parks Foundation, both funded through AmeriCorps. The foundation also supported Nevada Outdoor School for AmeriCorps, linking service to youth and education settings in Winnemucca. Community health and basic-needs work appears in awards to Foundation for Recovery and Healthy Communities Coalition, both of which received AmeriCorps support. Together, these grants show a funder that uses service placements and volunteer infrastructure to address education, health, and community needs rather than making isolated program-only awards.

    How Nevada Volunteers Gives

    Typical grants are moderately sized but wide-ranging: the 25th percentile is $20,742, the median is $78,130, and the 75th percentile is $272,316. The recent record also includes multi-hundred-thousand-dollar AmeriCorps awards alongside smaller capacity-building grants, which suggests a mix of major operating support and targeted mini-grants. Recipients appear across multiple years, including repeated awards to the same organizations in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Nevada Volunteers is a state commission that administers service and volunteer programs; it does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.

    Where Nevada Volunteers Makes Grants

    Giving is entirely in Nevada, with 100% of grants going to recipients in the HQ state. Recent awards reach Reno, Las Vegas, Winnemucca, Carson City, Henderson, and Dayton. Reno appears frequently, including grants to Truckee Meadows Parks Foundation, Great Basin Institute, Walker Basin Conservancy, United Way of Northern Nevada, and Nevada System of Higher Education. The pattern is statewide rather than limited to one metro area, but all recipients are Nevada-based.
