The mission of Jewish Nevada is to engage our community to invest, enrich, and ensure the vibrancy and continuity of Jewish life in Nevada, Israel, and around the world.
Jewish Federation of Las Vegas Sigesmund Center centers its giving on Jewish life in Nevada, Israel, and related community support, with a large share of its recent activity flowing to local institutions in Las Vegas. Its recent grants show a mix of education, family support, congregational life, and broader Jewish communal infrastructure. Large charitable support went to Adelson Educational Campus and Jewish Family Service Agency, while Jewish Federations of North America also received substantial support. The pattern suggests a funder that backs both local organizations serving day-to-day community needs and larger Jewish network partners beyond Nevada. The foundation also supports emergency and crisis response through an Israel Emergency Fund structure, alongside open community grant portals for organizations seeking funding and resources. Recent recipients include Catholic Charities Sn, Temple Beth Sholom, Temple Sinai, Chabad of Southern NV, Desert Torah Academy, and Yeshiva Day School, pointing to a portfolio that reaches schools, congregations, social-service providers, and relief-oriented partners. The organization’s stated mission is to invest in the vibrancy and continuity of Jewish life in Nevada, Israel, and around the world.
Education is a visible part of the foundation’s grantmaking. In 2024, it gave $1,188,833 to Adelson Educational Campus in Las Vegas for charitable support, and it also supported Desert Torah Academy with $95,692 in 2024 and $66,450 in 2023. Yeshiva Day School in Las Vegas received $57,273 in 2025. Social services are another recurring area. Jewish Family Service Agency in Las Vegas received $401,508 in 2024 and $290,250 in 2025. Catholic Charities Sn in Las Vegas received $135,560 in 2025, and Catholic Charities in Las Vegas received $125,000 in 2023. The foundation also funds Jewish communal and congregational life. Temple Beth Sholom received $68,361 in 2025, Temple Sinai received $62,387 in 2025 and $57,573 in 2024, and Chabad of Southern NV received $59,875 in 2025.
Typical grant size is modest relative to the largest awards: the 25th percentile is $8,706, the median is $12,500, and the 75th percentile is $38,762. That distribution sits alongside a much larger upper tier, with several six- and seven-figure charitable support grants in the recent record. The same organizations appear across multiple years, which points to recurring support rather than one-off gifts alone. Adelson Educational Campus, Jewish Family Service Agency, Jewish Federations of North America, Academy Foundation, and Temple Sinai all show repeat grants in the dataset. The foundation gives through charitable support and community grant portals, and the active application channels are open to unsolicited requests for community programming and resources.
