From our editor
One of the many privileges I have as editor of the Giving Guide is the opportunity to read the nominations for the Angel Awards. The sheer number of submissions is a testament not only to the individuals and organizations nominated, but the determination of the nominators to honor those in our community who nurture, provide for and heal those who need support.
The Giving Guide is an inspiration and a resource. As you read about the seven Angel Award honorees, you’ll be amazed by the hours and expertise that go into their service. Whether it’s the employees from both philanthropic businesses of the year— NV Energy and Palms Cares—donating time and ideas, or the Cultural Advocate of the Year, Christina Barr, who has spent her entire career amplifying the humanities, every effort makes a difference.
Other honorees include Humanitarian of the Year, Kim Frank, who goes above and beyond as president of the Golden Knights Foundation; the Foundation of the Year, Brett Torino Foundation, which advocates for the environment and children with critical illnesses and special needs; Nonprofit of the Year, the Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth which protects and assists one of Southern Nevada’s most vulnerable populations; and Volunteer of the Year, Troy Moser, a staunch supporter of the Discovery Children’s museum.
I hope you also take time to peruse the resources highlighted in the Giving Guide. Thirteen nonprofit profiles showcase actionable ways for community-minded individuals to get involved. Volunteers are always needed, and there are so many opportunities available. You can also find a directory in the back of the book that lists Clark County nonprofit organizations alphabetically.
I would like to thank our presenting sponsors, The PENTA Building Group and Bank of America, for their support in recognizing the Angel Award honorees and sharing this resource with you. I also want to express my gratitude to long-time sponsor Bailey Kennedy for its continued commitment to this publication.
The Las Vegas Valley is a special and unique place and its residents have been known to be strong and resilient. It is my firm belief that we are better together. As members of a shared community, I hope that we can continue to join together to foster a community of belonging through service and philanthropy.
Sincerely, Special

GIVING GUIDE 2024-25
On behalf of Bank of America, it is a privilege to support the 2024 Giving Guide and celebrate the remarkable contributions of the nonprofit community in Southern Nevada. This publication is a testament to the compassion, dedication and resilience that define our region. In Las Vegas, a city known for its vibrancy and spirit, the efforts of nonprofits are the true heartbeat. They uplift our neighbors, address critical needs and pave pathways to brighter futures. Each organization recognized has made a profound impact, from providing essential services to fostering hope and opportunity for countless individuals and families.
At Bank of America, we are committed to creating meaningful change and driving economic and social progress. We believe in the power of partnerships and community investments to make a difference. Our support of the Giving Guide reflects our deep appreciation for the nonprofits that tirelessly work to strengthen the fabric of Southern Nevada.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Vegas Inc (and Greenspun Media Group) for the efforts you make to provide this opportunity to highlight these essential organizations. Your dedication to recognizing and supporting local nonprofits amplifies their efforts and encourages a spirit of generosity and unity throughout our community.
To the organizations highlighted, your unwavering commitment to service and excellence is inspiring. You are the true angels of Las Vegas, and your contributions are invaluable.

As a people-focused general contractor, The PENTA Building Group is incredibly proud to be involved in events that exemplify the power of kindness and giving, as the Giving Guide does.
Giving back to the communities in which we live and work has always been a part of our company culture—so much so that in 2019, we established The PENTA CARES Foundation, a 501 (c)( 3 ) nonprofit corporation. This marked the culmination of more than two decades of company-driven, employee-inspired philanthropy.
The mission of The PENTA CARES Foundation is to increase PENTA’s impact on those in need. Its dedicated committee propels forward actions of goodwill, engaging hundreds of employees (and their family members and friends), as well as subcontractor and industry partners, contributing to the betterment of Southern Nevada and the communities where PENTA operates. The Foundation has supported hundreds of nonprofit organizations over the years, driving home a strong commitment to making a positive impact.
To date, our employees have donated thousands of hours of personal time to incredible causes. Corporately, PENTA has donated over $11 million to nonprofit organizations, making a significant difference at so many levels while creating relationships with those who truly care.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the individuals who serve our communities and congratulate the 2024 Angel Award recipients. Together, we have a tremendous impact on making the world a better place.

President, Vegas Golden Knights Foundation and President, Folded Flag Foundation
The Vegas Golden Knights have been a force for unication in Las Vegas since the team’s rst season in 2017. During this time, Kim Frank began working in the marketing department, where she helped fortify the relationship between the team and the community. She orchestrated many meaningful outreach initiatives during those pivotal years before transitioning to the Vegas Golden Knights Foundation in 2019.
Serving as the foundation president, Frank upholds the organization’s three key pillars of giving back by providing support for education and youth sports, military and rst responders, and health and wellness. She also facilitates and implements ideas that Vegas Golden Knight players have for serving the community. Her leadership brings these initiatives to life, while increasing their reach and e cacy.
The Vegas Golden Knights Foundation has generated $1.7 million in donations for more than 80 local organizations in the past year. Additionally, Frank and her team awarded more than $230,000 in grants, led a toy drive, and coordinated player appearances, including hospital visits and food distributions.
Further extending her philanthropic reach, Frank serves as the president of the Folded Flag Foundation, created by Vegas Golden Knights owner Bill Foley, which provides educational scholarships and grants to family members of fallen military and government personnel.
Frank says she draws inspiration from the enthusiasm with which Vegas Golden Knights players, sta and families give back to the community. “To me, community is the shared passion we all have for this place we call home and the commitment to make it a better place for everyone living here.”

“They say it takes a village to raise a child— to us, community means that it’s all of our responsibility to step up and ensure that no young person falls through the cracks, including the youth who, through no fault of their own, find themselves without the support they need to thrive.”
—Arash Ghafoori, CEO of the Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth
“No young person should have to live on the streets,” is the motto and mission of the Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth. In the past year, the nonpro t has upheld this commitment to at-risk and homeless youths by making contact with more than 13,000 individuals. Further, more than 10,000 have visited the Drop-In Center seeking services, 138 were provided shelter through the Emergency Shelter Program, and 45 were assisted in accessing transitional housing programs.
“They say it takes a village to raise a child — to us, community means that it’s all of our responsibility to step up and ensure that no young person falls through the cracks, including the youth who, through no fault of their own, nd themselves without the support they need to thrive,” said Arash Ghafoori,
CEO of the Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth.
The organization recently opened the Outreach, Volunteer and Operation Center that signi cantly increased the size of its Drop-In Center campus. It also reaches thousands of people every year through Thriving Thursday and Feel Good Friday campaigns, and launched the Statewide Homelessness Summit to connect regions in Nevada through a shared purpose to end youth homelessness.
Since the 2017 launch of the Movement to End Youth Homelessness in Nevada, the organization has worked with community leaders and youths to create the Southern Nevada Plan to End Youth Homelessness, pass two state laws, raise awareness for an often-invisible population and bring solution-minded community members together.

In December 2021, the San Manuel Gaming & Hospitality Authority acquired the Palms and reopened it for business in April 2022. Since the reopening, the casino’s philanthropic branch, Palms Cares, has awarded more than $4 million in grants to local nonpro ts and Palms team members have donated more than 700 hours to partner organizations.
The San Manuel Gaming and Hospitality Authority and Palms Cares prioritize causes that support education, empowerment, the preservation of cultural traditions, and healthy and resilient communities. They have supported local organizations including Catholic Charities, CORE, Las Vegas Indian Center, Goodie Two Shoes Foundation, Noah’s Animal House, the Clark County Public Education Foundation, Nevada School of the Arts and Volunteers in Medicine Southern Nevada.
In addition to grants awarded to nonpro ts, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians has donated more than $10.3 million to educational institutions, including the UNLV Boyd School of Law and William F. Harrah College of Hospitality for programs in tribal law and tribal gaming operations.
Staying true to the cultural values of the tribe, San Manuel Gaming & Hospitality Authority is proud to uplift the communities in which it works. “Community encompasses interconnectedness, shared values, collective responsibility, and a shared vision for the local population,” said Latisha Prieto, chairperson of the San Manuel Gaming and Hospitality Authority Board. “Our value of stewardship requires that we take care of our people, land, animals, plant life, the environment and the various ecosystems that are part of this territory.”

In 1997, Troy Moser joined the board of the Discovery Children’s Museum, where he has continued to volunteer for nearly three decades. During this time, he has held positions on the development committee, the executive committee, the building committee, and served on event committees for functions including the Golf Classic and Royal Tea.
When the Discovery Children’s Museum moved to its current location at Symphony Park, Moser donated his time and expertise to the planning and designing of the new building. “I believe that I’ve been bless-
ed with talents and treasures so that I can give back to our community,” Moser said. “I quickly learned that I had landed on the board of trustees so that I could lend my design and leadership talents to Discovery as we developed plans to relocate the museum.”
Moser is dedicated to the museum’s mission to instill in its visitors a lifelong love of learning. He actively promotes the museum and has personally given more than $165,000 to the organization. “Community means family to me. I believe that we should all be working together to make our community a happier, safer, more welcoming place,” Moser said.

The Brett Torino Foundation has championed continuing education, environmental preservation and active community involvement for nearly 40 years. Brett Torino, successful real estate developer and ultra-endurance triathlete, created his namesake foundation to engender partnerships with local nonpro ts and organizations, including the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Foundation, Sunshine Nevada, Save Red Rock and the Clark County School District.
In 2017, the Brett Torino Foundation initiated the Save Lovell Canyon project, aimed to restore the long-neglected area neighboring Red Rock Canyon. With help from partners including the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Clark County Commission, Las Vegas Metro Police Department, Sierra Club, Save Red Rock, Get Outdoors Nevada and Friends of Nevada Wilderness, the foundation developed a plan to repair years of damage caused by littering and the use of o -road vehicles, explosives and rearms. This reclamation project also includes establishing an ecological sanctuary and collaborating with government entities to protect the land. Torino Ranch, the headquarters of the Brett Torino Foundation, is located in Lovell Canyon and hosts a multitude of programs and summer camps each year. These summer camps serve children battling critical illnesses and children experiencing physical or developmental challenges. Since its creation, more than 19,000 campers and 17,000 volunteers have experienced the joy of nature at this specially preserved haven.
To determine how the philanthropic spending of the NV Energy Foundation should be prioritized, NV Energy surveys its customers to ensure the community receives the support it wants and needs. These needs are met through charitable grants and sponsorships, as well as donations to causes that are determined by employees and the public. Areas of focus include education, workforce development, community well-being, utility assistance, a ordable housing, public safety and food security.
Each year, the NV Energy Foundation and NV Energy employees contribute to local nonpro ts through nancial and in-kind donations, and tens of thousands of volunteer service hours. Since 2001, more than 2,000 Nevada students have received funding to pursue higher education through Powerful Partnership scholarships. The foundation also provided $800,000 in utility assistance that aided nearly 4,000 households in 2023.
As the NV Energy Foundation serves Southern Nevadans, it emphasizes equity and seeks to serve individuals in underrepresented demographics. In 2023, more than 76% of nancial contributions to nonpro ts were given to organizations that serve and support diverse communities.

Executive Director, Nevada Humanities
Established more than 50 years ago, Nevada Humanities creates innovative cultural programming, connects people and celebrates the Nevada experience. In her role as executive director, Christina Barr, a nationally recognized folklorist, has doubled the organization’s capacity and expanded its impact.
“My work as a folklorist has shown me that community is the heart and soul of being human,” Barr said. “At Nevada Humanities, we know the humanities to be elemental— they are how each of us consider, document, express and live the human experience.”
To uplift the diverse voices of the Las Vegas community, the Nevada Humanities Program Gallery hosts the Nevada Humanities Exhibition Series, showcasing the
artistic and creative work of local artists through six exhibitions every year. “We produce programs that highlight local stories and local voices. Our focus is to amplify the hometown Nevada experience,” Barr said.
Barr currently serves on the advisory board for the Journal of American Folklore, on the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority Art Advisory Committee, on the national Legislative Committee for the Federation of State Humanities Councils, on the America 250 Nevada Planning Committee and as chair for the Culture Conservation Corps Board of Trustees.
“My advice to people wanting to get involved is to follow your own heart and passions and start with your own community of like-minded people,” Barr said.

Together with business leaders, schools and volunteers, we teach young people how to make smart financial decisions and become entrepreneurs while preparing them for the workforce. By inspiring them to dream big and see a world of limitless opportunity, we can make the future better for all of us.
OUR GOALS
To positively impact young people’s perceptions about the importance of education and critical life skills. Preparation involves our proven lessons that promote financial capability, work and career readiness, and business ownership. We reach 20,000+ Clark County students with Junior Achievement programming, and our goal is to increase that to 60,000.
FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITIES
We host events throughout the year to raise money to support our programming. These events also engage the community in our efforts to reach students. Whether getting involved on an individual level or as a business through event sponsorship, we offer several ways to support our work while having a great time!
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Volunteers are critical to the success of our programs, and JA volunteers have the opportunity to impact a large number of students in a short span of time. As a volunteer, you will inspire and prepare young people for their futures and help youth avoid the financial pitfalls many adults face.

people, college students, parents and retirees. These dedicated individuals are the backbone of our organization. JA programs bring volunteers into the classroom to teach students, K-12 and young adults up to 25 about entrepreneurship, personal financial literacy, and workforce readiness. JA provides you with the materials and training necessary to teach your class.
Event volunteering: With the many fundraising events we host, we have unique and fun ways for volunteers to help.

OUR MISSION
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Foundation raises funds to support three strategic priorities of the LVMPD: equipment and technology, officer training, and youth and community programs.
Together. For a safer, stronger community.
OUR VISION
Our vision is for the greater Las Vegas area to be the nation’s safest community, served by the best-trained and best-equipped law enforcement agency, with thriving relationships between LVMPD officers and the neighborhoods they serve.

Service Area

FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITIES
Equipment and Technology: Providing our officers with advanced tools, such as drones and modern equipment, improves emergency response times, helps solve crimes more effectively and increases officer safety in dangerous scenarios.
Joint Emergency Training Institute: In times of crisis, training makes all the difference. When a tragic mass shooting happened at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, officers who had trained at the Joint Emergency Training Institute responded. Rigorous training ensured they entered without hesitation and used medical skills to save lives. Programs such as Advanced Officer Skills Training, Multi Assault Counter Terrorism Action Capabilities, Reality Based Training, and the forthcoming Indoor Tactical Training Village prepare our heroes comprehensively.
Community Engagement and Youth Programs:
n We proudly support the Discover, Redirect, Empower, Advocate, and Mentorship (D.R.E.A.M.) Program, which provides mentorship to at-risk youth, empowering them to make positive life choices and build successful futures.
n We champion youth sports initiatives, such as the Bolden Lions Football Club and Heroes United Hockey, where kids learn teamwork and stay active while building strong relationships with local law enforcement. These programs help humanize the badge and help young people see officers as mentors and role
models, fostering trust and understanding early on. The connection contributes to safer neighborhoods and a more united community overall.
n Our commitment includes sponsoring community engagement events throughout the year, such as National Night Out, Easter celebrations, and Halloween Trunkor-Treats. Initiatives for Back to School, Thanksgiving, and Santa Cops/Shop with a Cop allow police to provide essential school supplies, food and clothing to underserved communities, uplifting them and demonstrating care for those they serve.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Volunteers are essential to the success of our events for guests, officers and supporters. Your dedicated service creates a spirit of cooperation and strengthens our partnership with the community.
GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
100 Club: Show leadership support by joining the LVMPD Foundation’s 100 Club and annually investing in public safety.
Hispanic Giving Circle: Improve lives and strengthen trust in law enforcement by joining the Hispanic Giving Circle. Your support provides essentials and resources that impact public safety in Spanish-speaking neighborhoods.
