NV Energy Foundation Grants

This initiative aims to fund impactful community programs, emphasizing environmental conservation, education, and public safety. Successful LOIs will lead to funding decisions in July and December, fostering collaboration and volunteer involvement while promoting community awareness of the Foundation's philanthropic efforts.

Organizations may submit an LOI during any month as determined by that organization but may only submit once per calendar year. Organizations will be notified by the end of the month following the submission if their LOI has been approved to the application stage or has been denied.  If an LOI has been approved to the application stage, communications on timeline will be sent to the organization for funding decisions made in July and December.
The NV Energy Foundation is committed to connecting with the community through philanthropic efforts, including civic leadership, financial contributions and volunteerism.
