Donations & Endowment Fund

Nevada EcoNet Endowment Fund

We sincerely hope that our community will cease to need Nevada EcoNet's services, and that in the future every day will truly be Earth Day. In the meantime, however, EcoNet has established an endowment fund to ensure that EcoNet's programs and services will continue to receive support as long as needed.

The Nevada EcoNet Endowment Fund was created in spring of 2005 through donations by board members, staff and friends. It is managed by the Community Foundation of Western Nevada. Gifts to our fund are leveraged with other contributions to create a pool of funds we can use to support our programs through disbursements from the interest accrued. Donations to the fund are invested or held short-term by the Community Foundation.

The Community Foundation of Western Nevada is a public nonprofit foundation, and a gift to Environmental Leaderships Endowment Fund is tax deductible to the extent allowable by law. Your gift to EcoNet's fund can be anonymous, with the Community Foundation acknowledging your donation for tax purposes. To make a gift, simply write your check to the Community Foundation of Western Nevada and put “Environmental Leadership Fund” on the memo portion of your check. You can also conveniently and simply contribute to EcoNet’s fund through the Community Foundation’s website, www.cfwnv.org. The Community Foundation can also accept gifts of securities, real property, and planned gifts such as Charitable Remainder Trusts and Charitable Annuities. They are happy to talk with you and your financial advisor about planned giving that will both benefit your estate or tax situation and EcoNet’s charitable fund.

If you believe in EcoNet’s work to inform our community of environmental groups, services, and issues, please consider adding a bequest to EcoNet in your estate planning, or giving a gift now that can benefit EcoNet in the future. Your donation to our endowment fund, and to our long-term success, is greatly appreciated!
