Reno, Nevada – The Community Foundation of Northern Nevada is proud to announce that 114 local organizations achieved the 2024 100% Giving Board Award to celebrate National Philanthropy Day. 

“A Board member’s role goes beyond volunteering time – it means publicly demonstrating belief in the cause you are working towards. The 100% Giving Board Award recognizes board members who understand the importance of philanthropy for their organization’s mission and impacts,” said CEO Eaton Dunkelberger. “When the 100% Giving Board started, we recognized 13 charities. Every year we see more organizations’ boards go above and beyond to publicly support their mission through philanthropy.” 

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 2024, 114 organizations’ Boards gave back, amounting to $8,757,256 from 1,282 board members.
