null


The July 24, 2017 edition of the Northern Nevada Business Weekly featured a page about the Corporate Philanthropy Partners and the new forms of social impact, social enterprise and B Corp philanthropy. 

The Corporate Philanthropy Partners are named in the body of the article and in the banner ad across the bottom of the page.

Chris Askin, Community Foundation CEO writes, " One of the key elements that businesses are adopting is to integrate positive social impacts as part of their mission and culture...Their support and involvement makes our community leadership work possible. The Corporate
Philanthropy Partners bring resources
and  relationships together to focus on community issues that are most important to all of us, and bring about improvements that would otherwise be impossible
to achieve."

The Power of Good

At NV Energy, the power of good is always on. One of the key ways NV Energy delivers good is through the NV Energy Foundation. The mission of the Foundation is to provide financial donations to nonprofit organizations throughout Nevada that support education and youth, the environment, arts and multicultural outreach, and health and human services.

One of the ways the NV Energy Foundation demonstrates its commitment to Nevada communities by supporting education and youth through the Powerful Partnership scholarship program. This longstanding scholarship program is made possible through a valuable partnership with the Community Foundation of Western Nevada, who administers the application and selection process.   Read More
