About the Foundation

The Nevada Community School Foundation began in 1999 to provide extra support for academics, student scholarships, student activities and other K-12 educational programs for the Nevada Community School District students.

The Foundation is an incorporated 501 (c)(3) nonprofit and privately funded organization. Contributions to the Nevada Community School Foundation are tax deductible.

How can you help?

The easiest way for you to become involved is through a tax-deductible donation to the Nevada Community School Foundation.

Your employer may have a program to provide matching funds for your contribution.

You can have an even greater impact on the future of Nevada students through personal contributions, wills, pledges, trusts, stocks, estates, real estate, legacies and memorials.
