About Three Square
Three Square’s grantmaking is defined by food access work in Southern Nevada, with repeated large awards to organizations that distribute meals, expand pantry support, and connect households to nutrition assistance. The foundation’s stated purpose is to provide wholesome food to hungry people while pursuing a hunger-free community, and its recent grants reflect that mission in direct-service settings across Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas. The largest recent awards in the dataset go to The Just One Project, which appears multiple times in 2023 and 2024, including grants of $7,414,855, $5,627,279, and $5,478,442. Other major recipients include St Therese Hiv Outreach Ctr and St Therese Center in Henderson, along with Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas. The pattern points to a funder that supports established local food providers at substantial scale rather than dispersing many small awards. Recent recipient names also show a mix of community-based nonprofits, churches, and food pantry operators serving individuals and families facing hunger.
What Three Square Funds
In hunger-relief and food distribution work, Three Square supports organizations that move food directly to households. It gave $4,374,035 to City Impact Center and $2,790,142 to the same grantee in 2023, both in Las Vegas, indicating sustained support for a local distribution model. The foundation also backed Veteran's Village Pantry with $1,783,700 for charitable purposes, showing attention to pantry-based food access. Senior and health-linked food support appears in the awards to St Therese Center and St Therese Hiv Outreach Ctr in Henderson, both among the foundation’s larger grants. SNAP outreach is part of the foundation’s stated focus areas, alongside TEFAP distribution and emergency food distribution, which fit the direct-service organizations in the recent grants list.
How Three Square Gives
Three Square’s typical grant size is substantial: the 25th percentile is $46,534, the median is $178,152, and the 75th percentile is $546,630. The recent grants list also shows repeated awards to the same recipients across 2023 and 2024, including multiple grants to The Just One Project, Tcmi Community, Hope for the City, Our Savior's Lutheran Church, Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada, City Impact Center, Epic Church, and First Ame. That repetition suggests ongoing operating support rather than one-time event funding. The foundation is a local grantmaker, based in Las Vegas, and it does not make grants to individuals.
