Boost Nevada

This holiday season we are grateful for our founding donors and for the organizations doing such terrific work. We were able to fund our first grants to local nonprofits this year in the amount of $4,000 each to Hero School and BE A SHERO Foundation. Hero School teaches lifelong skills working with the homeless population to break the cycle of poverty and despair. BE A SHERO is focused on eliminating s*x trafficking in our community and easing the transition of victims into productive and fulfilling lives. We are honored to support these organizations and the great work they are doing in our community. Congratulations!

We also want to acknowledge our founding donors who made these grants possible. Thank you for being part of making our community a better place.
