Nevada Community Foundation

Nevada Community Foundation

Nevada Community Foundation was incorporated in 1989 when Moe Dalitz created its founding endowment. Gian F. Brosco, an attorney and former banker, has led the organization since 2008. The foundation administers donor-advised funds and separate endowments focused on education, health, and human services in Southern Nevada. NCF accepts gifts of residential and commercial real estate, farmland, oil and gas interests, cryptocurrency, and retirement plan assets. These holdings are managed directly or liquidated to support grantmaking. The foundation maintains a commercial property portfolio in Southern Nevada and a cryptocurrency donation program that routes proceeds to endowment or immediate distribution. Geographic reach centers on Nevada with limited national and international grant activity through named funds. The staff totals 19 professionals. NCF sponsors the NWP Grant Symposium and the Regional Young Women's Leadership Expo. It maintains relationships with service providers including Morgan Stanley as investment advisor and Eide Bailly for accounting. Four named philanthropic vehicles operate under its umbrella, including the Moe Dalitz Endowment and Nevada Women's Philanthropy. NCF functions as a public charity that receives complex assets on behalf of multiple unrelated donors rather than managing capital for a single family. Governance centers on board oversight of gift acceptance policies and grant allocation through member-driven pooled funds.
