When the Nevada Nonprofit Center was founded in 2024, Nevada was one of only five states that lacked a resource hub dedicated to supporting nonprofits across the State. Well, we set out to change that. After a year of focus groups, interviews, and surveys with nonprofit leaders across the State, it was clear what we needed to do. We needed to connect our nonprofit sector, provide tools to elevate the professionals that run our nonprofits, and advocate to ensure proper resources are available to carry out our missions. And that is what we are doing. 

NvNC now joins 47 other state nonprofit resource hubs in partnering with the National Council of Nonprofits to provide training, advocacy and other tools to nonprofits. In Nevada, we do this through our membership program, professional development courses, technical support, a resource library, and advocacy.

Nonprofit Advisory Council

Our Advisory Council is built on real expertise, not titles. It is an interdisciplinary mix of Washoe County community leaders who know the sector from the inside out to keep us sharp, accountable, and connected to what's actually happening on the ground. We're growing with intention, rooted in Reno, reaching into rural Nevada next, and working toward a council that genuinely reflects every corner of the state. That kind of representation doesn't happen overnight, but it's exactly what we're building toward.
