The North Las Vegas Chamber Foundation was formed in 1994 to
contribute to the educational and charitable needs of the North
Las Vegas and surrounding communities.
The mission of the North Las Vegas Chamber Foundation, a 501(c)(3)
organization, is to provide educational opportunities through
programs, funding, and mentorships that will improve the quality
of education in our schools along with providing professional
development opportunities to the business community.
Since its inception, the Foundation has contributed to several
charitable and local programs throughout the city. In 2002, the
Chamber through its Foundation adopted the Reynaldo Martinez
Elementary School, an at-risk Focus Project School. From its
fund raising proceeds, the Foundation has made contributions to
support the Aviation Center project, volunteer uniform program
and made contributions to the school’s general operating fund.
In 2003, the Foundation contributed almost $2,000 in classroom
school supplies.
The Foundation in 2004 is geared to focus on its educational
efforts to the business and education community. Through its
Business Resource Center (BRC), businesses can get the
information and counseling necessary to run their businesses
efficiently. Those just starting out, are able to determine
whether entrepreneurship is right for them and to get the
necessary information on starting that business. Through the BRC,
several workshops and seminars are scheduled annually to assist
with the various aspects of starting and running a business.
In 2005-06 the Foundation introduces the Business Education Enterprise
Program (BEEP).
