Current Projects:
In addition to supporting events and education throughout Southern Nevada, we completed a Resource Needs Assessment with numerous partners during the 2019 year. This ambitious assessment provides information for our region to understand which resources are underfunded, where money should be allocated for future projects, and provide direction for how each organization can support protecting our natural resources for future generations.
For every $1 received, approximately $10 in benefits are provided back to the Community
