United Way of Northern Nevada and the Sierra

United Way of Northern Nevada and the Sierra is a longstanding organization that has been making an impact since its establishment in 1942. Their mission is to bring people together to give, advocate, and volunteer, linking the community's will and resources to improve lives. Unlike the traditional perception of United Way as a grant provider, United Way of Northern Nevada and the Sierra operates as a "Collective Impact" organization, emphasizing collaboration and implementation of solutions through the involvement of local nonprofits, businesses, elected officials, and community members. This approach recognizes that no single organization can address community challenges alone. Supported by an active local board of directors, a dedicated staff team, passionate volunteers, and generous donors, United Way of Northern Nevada and the Sierra works to harness the power of the community to drive positive change.

The organization's last investment of $414.71K was in the form of a grant from AmeriCorps Public Allies on 03 July 2023, demonstrating ongoing support and investment in their initiatives. Operating in the United States, United Way of Northern Nevada and the Sierra continues to invite participation, encouraging individuals and entities to be part of the solution in Northern Nevada.
