The Community Foundation of Elko County Receives Legacy Gift from an Anonymous Donor

In 2017, an anonymous donor designated the Community Foundation of Elko County as the beneficiary of their IRA. This generous individual was a 3rd generation Elko native who learned the value of charitable giving through their parents. It was important to them to give back to the community they grew up in, and upon their passing in 2023, a gift of $94,000 was made to benefit the Community Foundation of Elko County.

The Fund Advisory Committee is responsible for stewarding these funds on behalf of the donor. The Advisory Committee serves as champions of the Community Foundation of Elko County to help secure additional giving. They also serve as the advisory committee, assessing community needs and opportunities, and determining grant and program priorities for the Community Foundation of Elko County Endowed Fund’s competitive grant cycle.

We are pleased to announce our new committee members (pictured left to right): AJ Hull (Chair), Teri Gage, Katie Neddenriep, Jody Borjas, and Jearred Foruria. Each of these individuals donate their time, treasure, and talent for the benefit of Elko County and we are grateful for their dedication and philanthropic partnership.
