We are excited to launch Boost Nevada where philanthropic minded leaders help small nonprofits (under $300,000 annual revenues) start-up and scale-up. Boost Nevada is a concept created by Bart Patterson, immediate past president of Nevada State College, based on the shared assessment that small nonprofits struggle to get started and progress to the next level as they lack adequate funding and resources. Boost Nevada operates as a multi-donor fund affiliated with the Henderson Community Foundation whereby Boost Nevada members who contribute $1000 annually or $90 per month annually participate in identifying the area of greatest concern and then reviewing grant submissions to select recipients. The first 100 members will be identified as Founding Members. Boost Nevada will also participate in idea generation and identifying education resources to assist small non profits. Interested in learning more? Send an email to [email protected]. We have now initiated the first phase to sign up members, collect donations, and build a website. All donations are made through the Henderson Community Foundation at
