Nevada’s nonprofit scene is alive with activity, and there’s no better way to support a cause you care about than by getting involved in upcoming events. From charity 5Ks and community festivals to gala fundraisers and virtual workshops, there are countless ways to connect, give back, and even have a little fun along the way.
Attending a local fundraiser isn’t just about writing a check—it’s about showing up for your community. Events often serve as a major source of revenue for nonprofits and also help raise awareness for causes like affordable housing, education equity, environmental sustainability, and animal rescue. Whether you’re buying a ticket, sponsoring a table, volunteering, or simply spreading the word on social media, your participation matters.
This month across Nevada, you’ll find events like:
- Three Square’s “Fill the Plate” Gala (Las Vegas) – A culinary fundraiser to combat food insecurity.
- Nevada Humane Society’s “Paws on the Patio” (Reno) – Pet adoption day with live music and local vendors.
- Northern Nevada Literacy Council’s “Book It!” 5K (Sparks) – Run/walk to support adult education programs.
