2023 100 Giving Board Award

Reno, Nev.: The Community Foundation of Northern Nevada is proud to announce that 116 local organizations achieved the 2023 100% Giving Board Award to celebrate National Philanthropy Day.

“A Board member’s role goes beyond their time – it means believing in the cause you are working towards. The 100% Giving Board Award recognizes board members who understand the impact their organizations are making,” said CEO Eaton Dunkelberger. “When the 100% Giving Board started, we recognized 13 charities. Every year we see more organizations go above and beyond to support their mission.”

Since 2008, the Community Foundation’s 100% Giving Board Award recognizes Northern Nevada nonprofits for the financial support their board members contribute to their organization’s work. In 2023, 116 organizations’ Boards gave back, amounting to $8,430,660 from 1,315 board members.
