Travel Nevada awards $500,000 to rural communities to boost tourism – Mesquite gets $8,000

March 17, 2021 by Special To the MCJ Leave a Comment

CARSON CITY, Nevada — The Nevada Commission on Tourism (NCOT) on Tuesday approved $500,000 in grants to rural communities to market themselves as tourism destinations. Travel Nevada will distribute 75 grants to support various marketing projects, including promotion of a new special event, the Eureka Gold Rush Games.

“As more and more people become vaccinated and begin to think about traveling again, it’s important for our rural communities to get the word out about what they offer,” Lt. Gov. Kate Marshall, NCOT chairwoman, said. “We are excited to be able to support rural Nevada communities in their efforts with these marketing grants.”

Grants were awarded to nonprofit groups for tourism marketing projects that will result in overnight stays, ultimately increasing room tax revenue for the state. Travel Nevada is resuming its Rural Marketing Grants program after a pause in 2020 due to lack of funding resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Among the funded projects:

  • The Western Spirit Foundation was awarded $10,000 to promote a new special event, the Eureka Gold Rush Games, set for June 26-27. The family event will feature 1800s-style mining competitions such as hand mucking, spike driving and jackleg drilling.
  • Friends of Black Rock High Rock received a $12,000 grant to promote a short film about the Black Rock National Conservation Area on social media. The film, already produced, educates potential visitors about the beauty of and recreational opportunities in the Black Rock Desert, as well as the need to use this resource wisely.
  • The Beatty Chamber of Commerce was granted $7,315 for radio advertising. Beatty will be presented as a great place for a weekend getaway on three radio stations with listeners within a day’s drive of the small community.
  • The city of Mesquite received an $8,000 grant to promote itself on such highly visited travel websites as Trip Advisor and Yelp, as well as on billboards.
  • The Comstock Foundation for History & Culture was awarded $12,000 to produce promotional videos and air them on TV and radio in northern Nevada and northeastern California.

Funding for the Rural Marketing Grants program does not come from the state’s general fund. Travel Nevada receives three-eighths of 1% of room tax revenue as its operations budget. A portion of those funds is used to offer the Rural Marketing Grants Program. Grant recipients must provide a 50-50 match in funds or volunteer hours unless a waiver is approved. The grants are distributed in the form of reimbursements to the recipients after the projects are completed and labor and funding details are documented.

The Nevada Division of Tourism is a division of the Nevada Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs. More commonly known as Travel Nevada, the Nevada Division of Tourism is responsible for promoting and marketing Nevada as a travel destination to domestic and international travelers. Operating within a performance-based budget structure, Travel Nevada is funded solely by a percentage of lodging tax paid by overnight guests throughout the state.

Travel Nevada to distribute $730,000 to rural Nevada groups to promote tourism

September 30, 2021 by Lincoln County Central

CARSON CITY  — A video featuring Virginia City musicians and a campaign promoting Lehman Caves at Great Basin National Park are among the marketing projects that will receive funding from the Nevada Division of Tourism (Travel Nevada). The Nevada Commission on Tourism (NCOT) on Friday approved $730,547 in grants to rural Nevada communities to market themselves as tourism destinations.

“Travel Nevada’s Rural Marketing Grants program is a key factor in how we support Nevada communities as they grow their economies,” Brenda Scolari, director of the Nevada Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs, said. “We are proud to support the efforts of our dedicated tourism partners in rural Nevada.”

Grants were awarded to nonprofit groups for tourism marketing projects that will result in overnight stays, which generate room tax revenue for the state.

Lincoln County organizations were among those receiving funding. The Lincoln County Authority of Tourism (LCAT) was awarded $18,300 for print and digital advertising, $5,473 for rebranding and $8,000 to manage its website and social media assets. The Pioche Chamber of Commerce was awarded $4,800 for website updates and management.

Among other funded projects:

  • The Virginia City Tourism Commission received a $12,500 grant to create a promotional video featuring local musicians. The four- to five-minute video documents artists as they work to create a song that ultimately will become the new music track for future advertising. The video also will be used in advertising.
  • A $12,000 award to the Great Basin National Park Foundation to promote the park’s Lehman Caves system through photography, videography and social media, as well as traditional and digital advertising. August 2022 will mark the 100 th anniversary of the Lehman Caves’ designation as a National Monument.
  • The Goldwell Open Air Museum near Beatty was granted $4,700 to promote its Bullfrog Biennial arts festival via radio spots, posters, postcards and social media ads. The October event will be held in conjunction with Beatty Days, another community fall festival.
  • A $6,150 grant was awarded to the Marzen House Museum in Lovelock to create brochures explaining revitalization projects going on at the museum. Digital versions of the brochure content will be placed on the Marzen House website and Facebook page.
  • The Moapa Valley Revitalization Project, a nonprofit organization seeking to develop tourism, community resources and the local economy, got a $10,000 award for marketing materials, including ads, social media promotions and visitor guide distribution. 

Funding for Travel Nevada’s Rural Marketing Grants program does not come from the state’s general fund. Travel Nevada receives three-eighths of 1 percent of room tax revenue as its operations budget. A portion of those funds is used to offer the Rural Marketing Grants program. Grant recipients must provide a 50-50 match in funds of volunteer hours unless a waiver is approved.

Commission on tourism makes push to increase travel to rural Nevada

$760,000 in marketing grants approved on june 8.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (KOLO) - The Nevada Commission on Tourism had approved $760,000 in marketing grants to boost tourism rural communities

Travel Nevada says they will distribute 67 grants across 37 organizations.

This cycle of awards is funded with money from the EDA State Tourism and Outdoor Recreation Award.

The hope is for this money to result in people not just traveling places, but staying there overnight – resulting in more room tax revenue for the state.

“One of my biggest priorities as Chair of Nevada Commission on Tourism is promoting what I like to call the ‘hidden gems’ of our state, many of which exist in our rural communities,” Lieutenant Governor Lisa Cano Burkhead said. “It’s so important to highlight, market and promote our rural gems, which is why I was happy to support the grant recommendations.”

Among the funded projects:

  • $12,000 is going to the Great Basin National Park Foundation to help improve the park’s digital presence by hiring a photographer.
  • Pahrump is getting $19,875 to expose Nevada and California markets to the town and outlying areas of the state. The grant includes advertising in target publications as well as digitally at sporting events in the Los Angeles and Las Vegas markets.
  • A $41,250 award was granted to Carson City Culture & Tourism Authority to execute multiple marketing and advertising efforts to support its first full-scale marketing campaign in order to drive larger awareness of Carson City.
  • The Boulder City Chamber of Commerce was awarded $38,375 to fulfill a full-scale marketing and advertising strategy that will inspire visitation to Boulder City and Southern Nevada.
  • The City of West Wendover was awarded $5,000 to help promote the 2022 Salty & Stupid Cycling Events. These events target adventure travelers and cycling enthusiasts and have grown over the past two years into a two-day event with nearly 450 cyclists.
  • Nevada’s Indian Territory was awarded $10,000 to assist with the promotion of cultural events and destination attractions.

Travel Nevada launches innovative destination development program

The Nevada Division of Tourism, Travel Nevada, kicked off a statewide roadshow to inspire destinations across Nevada to apply for consulting services to energize their local economies by creating new experiences for travelers.

The Destination Development program is an integral part of Travel Nevada’s strategic plan for the long-term and sustainable development of tourism in the rural communities.

Up to six destinations will be selected to participate in the new Destination Development Demonstration (3D) Project. Upon completion of an eight-month planning cycle, the chosen destinations can bring their concepts to life by applying for part of a one-time $2 million fund created from the state's share of U.S. Economic Development Administration American Rescue Plan Act funding.

Details of the 3D Project were shared in a webinar following the Nevada Commission on Tourism’s approval of the 3D Project Guidelines. Following the webinar, the state tourism agency held the first of nine stops on a weeklong, statewide roadshow to explain the 3D Project. More than 120 tourism industry partners have registered for the workshops scheduled in Carson City, Winnemucca, Elko, Ely, Caliente, Henderson, Pahrump, Tonopah, and Fallon.

Applications will be accepted from Sept. 16 to Oct. 25, 2022 online at https://travelnevada.biz/ruralprograms/ . Travel Nevada anticipates announcing the selected 3D participants on Dec. 8, following approval by the Nevada Commission on Tourism.

Any destination eligible to apply for Travel Nevada's Marketing Matching Grant program also may apply for the 3D Project. Applicants can include either stand-alone destinations or collaboratives of multiple partners unified around a concept in an identifiable geographic location.

The scoring system will favor collaborative approaches likely to yield significant local or statewide economic impact and that demonstrate ability to steer a project to completion. Points also will be awarded for projects likely to align with Travel Nevada's marketing strategy, spark development in lesser-known places, and showcase diverse cultures or support diverse communities or businesses.

Selected 3D destinations will agree to engage in an 8-month planning process to workshop a research-based strategy for shaping their destination's unique assets to attract new or increased visitation. Each 3D destination will participate in creating a 10-year plan providing ongoing guidance in developing their destination and potentially attracting future investment.

“I am proud that Travel Nevada is able to offer this investment in rural tourism infrastructure,” said Brenda Scolari, Director of the Nevada Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs. “We hope Nevada’s communities will take advantage of this program, which aims to support a vibrant economic future throughout the state.”

To help shape and guide the 3D project, Travel Nevada has formed a 3D Working Group representing partnerships with other government agencies, academia, and private industry. Members include:

* Colin Robertson, Administrator, Nevada Division of Outdoor Recreation * Shari Davis, Director, Rural Economic and Community Development, Governor's Office of Economic Development * Miles Gurtler, BLM NV Recreation, National Conservation Lands & Tourism Lead, U.S. Bureau of Land Management * Tony Manfredi, Executive Director, Nevada Arts Council * Frederick Steinmann, Assistant Research Professor, University of Nevada Reno * Myron Freedman, Administrator, Nevada Division of Museums and History * Stacey Montooth, Executive Director, Nevada Indian Commission * Rebecca Palmer, Nevada State Historic Preservation Officer * Lucas Ingvoldstad, Rural Development State Director, Nevada, USDA

Travel Nevada (the Nevada Division of Tourism) is part of the Nevada Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs. It is responsible for promoting and marketing Nevada as a travel destination. Operating within a performance-based budget structure, TravelNevada is funded solely by a percentage of lodging tax paid by overnight guests throughout the state. For more, visit TravelNevada.biz.

Tourism board endorses spending of $13.65M for pandemic recovery

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority will get more than half of the $13.65 million in federal pandemic recovery funds to help market tourism.

(Nevada Department of Transportation)

The Nevada Commission on Tourism on Friday unanimously endorsed plans to use $13.65 million in federal grant funding to boost tourism marketing for an industry devastated by the coronavirus pandemic.

The state was awarded funding from the U.S. Economic Development Administration American Rescue Plan for tourism and outdoor recreation grants.

The meeting was conducted by Vice Chairwoman Cynthia Mun, who paid tribute to Lt. Gov. Kate Marshall, whose resignation as lieutenant governor was effective Friday.

Marshall took a job in the Biden administration as senior adviser to governors. Gov. Steve Sisolak has not determined if or who he would appoint to fill Marshall’s position.

The lieutenant governor chairs the Commission on Tourism.

LVCVA to get $7 million

More than half of the money received for grants will go to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority for domestic and international marketing programs. In addition to the $7 million that will go to the LVCVA, $1.25 million is going to the Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority for domestic marketing programs.

An NCOT subcommittee worked for months to develop a plan to spend the money.

The federal grant also gave Nevada $760,000 to split into rural grants. On Friday, the NCOT board approved distribution of $730,547 to 92 entities after receiving 134 requests for funding.

Other distributions of the federal American Rescue Plan money:

— $1 million to the Nevada Division of Tourism, known as Travel Nevada, for in-state and domestic marketing in support of the agency’s recently approved strategic plan.

— $2 million for Destination Development grants and facilitation contracts. Destination Development is a long-range, tourism-based community planning program that enables Nevada’s rural communities to be more intentional about the way their visitor economies develop over time.

— $150,000 for adventure center site planning. During the early stages of the pandemic, many states experienced a surge of outdoor recreation visitors as people sought a healthy, safe travel outlet. Nevada experienced an unprecedented number of first-time outdoor enthusiasts, many of whom were uneducated about safety, best practices, and stewardship of public land.

— $600,000 for trail system and outdoor recreation infrastructure planning and rehabilitation.

— $150,000 for outdoor recreation economic impact analysis and asset mapping.

— $200,000 for a dark sky tourism market analysis and community planning toolkit. Marshall helped get dark-skies legislation approved in the 2021 legislative session to encourage use of the resource for tourism.

— $150,000 for Tahoe Meadows managed recreation planning. Outdoor recreation in the Lake Tahoe Region draws more than 15 million visitors annually. One of six principal gateways to the Lake Tahoe Region, it runs through the Tahoe Meadows along State Route 431, the Mount Rose Highway.

More than 10,000 visitors to the area daily all year-round have contributed to pressing challenges for the popular but problematic recreation area.

Citi Foundation Grant

Citi foundation.

Philanthropic Focus

The Citi Foundation works to promote economic progress and improve the lives of people in low-income communities around the world. We invest in efforts that increase financial inclusion, catalyze job opportunities for youth, and reimagine approaches to building economically vibrant communities. The Citi Foundation's "More than Philanthropy" approach leverages the enormous expertise of Citi and its people to fulfill our mission and drive thought leadership and innovation.

We focus our resources on partners working in the following three focus areas:

Youth Economic Opportunities

The Citi Foundation supports efforts that help boost the employability of low-income young people around the world. In particular, we seek to increase the number of low-income youth, primarily aged 16-24, who become employed or start an income-generating business through leadership and skills training, experiential learning, and access to professional networks. Further, we believe that consistent and meaningful engagement of young people in the design and execution of programs that are intended to benefit them can help ensure that those programs are addressing their priorities and aspirations and improving their economic prospects.

Financial Inclusion

The Citi Foundation supports efforts to develop a more inclusive financial system that provides greater access to financial products, services and capital to low-income communities and individuals. Access to capital and financial products empowers adults and young people to build financial assets, enables entrepreneurs to grow or launch businesses that create jobs, and helps community-based organizations strengthen and transform communities. However, we believe access to capital and products alone is not enough. Financial capability—the ability to establish financial plans and develop strategies for preserving a strong financial position during times of both economic prosperity and instability—is critical to the financial well-being and upward economic mobility of individuals and communities.

Community Solutions

The Citi Foundation supports efforts that break down silos and bring stakeholders together to develop and scale solutions to the most pressing challenges confronting low-income communities. By strengthening nonprofit organizations and building partnerships and networks, we seek to transform communities into sustainable and thriving epicenters of economic opportunity. We support collaborations among stakeholders such as local government, community-based organizations and residents, the private sector, and research institutions and invest in efforts that spur innovation in key areas, including affordable housing, environmental sustainability, job training and small business development.

Creag Foundation Grant

Creag foundation.

Note: Applications to the Creag Foundation are by invitation only. If you believe that your organization fits our funding criteria, you are welcome to submit a letter of inquiry. 

The Creag Foundation is a private grant making foundation established in 2009 in Woodinville, Washington.

The founders of the Creag Foundation believe that meaningful change can only be achieved through hard work, creativity and passion. They also understand the practical mechanisms that allow charitable organizations to succeed and grow. As a group, Creag Foundation principals are dedicated to helping today’s most innovative programs improve the human condition in a wide variety of ways.

The broad purpose of the Foundation is to support the efforts of nonprofit organizations who are innovators in the field of human services. Our particular focus is on smaller organizations that are just starting out or established organizations that are looking for funding to take their organization in a new direction.

What We Fund

The Creag Foundation is focused on innovation in the industry. We will consider proposals from 501(c)(3) organizations that are finding new ways to address societal issues facing the nonprofit community. If you believe that your organization has a new approach to an existing social problem or is addressing a previously unaddressed social issue, you are welcome to contact us and request that we consider your organization for a funding opportunity

Michael & Susan Dell Foundation Grants

Michael & Susan Dell Foundation

The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation only accepts unsolicited proposals for specific areas within the education, family economic stability and childhood health sectors in select countries where we work, namely the United States, India and South Africa.

As a guideline, the foundation does not fund more than 25% of a project’s budget or more than 10% of an organization’s total annual operating expenses.

The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation has always recognized the power of providing grants to partner organizations that we knew were already working hard to improve the lives of urban children living in poverty. By aligning with organizations that are already making a difference, we continue to make an immediate impact on the lives of thousands of children.

Foundation priorities:

We fund social enterprises that directly serve or impact children or youth from urban low-income communities in the areas of education, health, and family economic stability (including livelihoods and financial inclusion). These social enterprises may be structured as for-profit or nonprofit entities.

Partnerships

We collaborate with a range of organizations focused on creating opportunities for children and families living in urban poverty, with a deep emphasis on measuring impact. Our funding advances projects already making an impact in education, health, and family economic stability. Through these enduring and long-standing partnerships, we create lasting change together.

Ameriprise Community Grants

Ameriprise financial.

Ameriprise Financial Grantmaking

At Ameriprise Financial, giving back is deeply rooted in our culture. We’ve initiated positive change in the communities where we live and work for more than 120 years. We believe our community involvement enables us to actively live our values. Through grant making, volunteerism and employee and financial advisor gift matching programs, we support a diverse group of over 6,000 nonprofits across the country.

Focus Areas

Awarding grant dollars to nonprofits is one way we strengthen our communities and help individuals on a path to financial independence. To ensure we're meeting the needs of our communities and making an even greater collective impact, we focus on three key giving areas when awarding grants.

Volunteer engagement is a priority across all focus areas:

The engagement of Ameriprise employees and financial advisors is a critical component of our philanthropy. Whether it’s serving on a nonprofit board, engaging friends, clients and community members in volunteering or providing skills-based support, our relationships with nonprofits go deep. For this reason, we give priority across all focus areas to applications where there is active volunteer engagement of Ameriprise advisors and employees. 

Meeting Basic Needs

At Ameriprise Financial, we help clients achieve financial security and peace of mind. That’s satisfying, meaningful work. We also help the people in our neighborhoods who struggle to meet basic needs such as where their next meal comes from, where they’ll sleep tonight or how they’ll find a higher wage job. We’re here to help them through the three platforms of our Meeting Basic Needs focus area.

Consideration is given to applications addressing the following: 

  • Food banks, food shelves and food pantries, daily meal programs or meal services for the homebound
  • Hunger-relief programs targeted to meet the special needs of children, ethnic populations or veterans
  • Food programs run by nonprofits where hunger is not their sole focus, for example a youth meal program at the YWCA or a backpack program run by a Boys & Girls Club
  • Emergency shelter, including youth homelessness
  • Transitional housing, permanent supportive housing and efforts to end chronic homelessness
  • Housing-first models (programs quickly providing housing and then addressing needed services)
  • Achieving and maintaining home ownership, repair and maintenance efforts helping keep seniors, veterans and other populations in their homes 
  • Adult Self-Sufficiency: Programs serving adults age 21 and older that help address the following areas:
  • Basic hard and soft skills that help adults achieve economic and family stability
  • Basic financial and budgeting skills
  • Increase employability and wages, including work readiness and job transitions
  • Employment of disabled adults

Supporting Community Vitality

We believe communities should be strong, healthy and resilient. We want livable places for all, where neighbors look out for one another, cultural events are well-attended and people pull together in times of crisis and joy. We work to create economic vitality and cultural enrichment through the following areas of focus.

  • Community Development
  • Neighborhood revitalization
  • Economic development
  • Strengthening and supporting small businesses and nonprofits through technical expertise
  • Cultural Enrichment
  • Arts education
  • Access for underserved populations
  • Diverse artists and performances that spark topical community conversations 

Volunteer Driven Causes: Ameriprise employees and financial advisors are outstanding volunteers who serve in teams and also as individuals bringing personal skill-sets to nonprofits. Volunteering is part of the culture at Ameriprise and we are proud to support communities through contributions of both service and financial resources. 

Funding for Volunteer-Driven Causes is determined by current Ameriprise volunteerism. In general, funding is in proportion to the size of the Ameriprise volunteer team supporting a nonprofit. A team may include employees, financial advisors and/or staff or a combination of any Ameriprise volunteers. 

Note: The Volunteer-Driven Causes focus area provides an opportunity for organizations with volunteer engagement outside of Meeting Basic Needs and Supporting Community Vitality to apply for funding. Applications must still meet the eligibility requirements outlined in the “eligibility” section. If your organization meets the eligibility and volunteer requirements and fits in either Meeting Basic Needs or Supporting Community Vitality focus areas, please apply under one of them.

Dr. Scholl Foundation Grants

Dr scholl foundation.

Application forms must be requested each year online prior to submitting an application. When you submit an LOI, a member of the foundation staff will be contacting you within the next five business days regarding the status of your request.

Full applications are due at the "full proposal" deadline above. 

The Dr. Scholl Foundation grant application cycle is between October 1 and March 1 of the following year. The next grant cycle begins October 1st, 2024

The Foundation is dedicated to providing financial assistance to organizations committed to improving our world. Solutions to the problems of today's world still lie in the values of innovation, practicality, hard work, and compassion.

The Foundation considers applications for grants in the following areas:

  • Social Service
  • Health care
  • Civic and cultural
  • Environmental

The categories above are not intended to limit the interest of the Foundation from considering other worthwhile projects. In general, the Foundation guidelines are broad to give us flexibility in providing grants.

The majority of our grants are made in the U.S. However, like Dr. Scholl, we recognize the need for a global outlook. Non-U.S. grants are given to organizations where directors have knowledge of the grantee.

The Audacious Project Grant Program

The Audacious Project is a collaborative funding initiative catalyzing social impact on a grand scale. Every year we select and nurture a group of big, bold solutions to the world’s most urgent challenges, and with the support of an inspiring group of donors and supporters, come together to get them launched.

Housed at TED, the nonprofit with a long track record of surfacing ideas worth spreading, and with support from leading social impact advisor The Bridgespan Group, the funding collective is comprised of several respected organizations and individuals in philanthropy.

Our goal is to match bold ideas with catalytic resources.

  • We encourage the world’s inspirational changemakers to dream bigger than ever before.
  • Help shape their best ideas into viable multi-year plans.
  • Present those solutions in a compelling way to potential supporters.

The Process

Every year, The Audacious Project works with proven change-makers to surface their best, boldest ideas for tackling global problems.

Sourcing & review

Projects are sourced from public applications and a global network of partners and donors. They are narrowed down to a group of finalists whose ideas are representative of a broad range of geographies and issue areas while elevating leaders with proximity to the communities they serve.

Idea shaping & investment support

Each finalist project goes through a rigorous ideation, due diligence, and investment support process, to ensure their proposal is achievable and compelling.

Funding & launch

Finalist projects are presented privately to groups of donors and are then publicly unveiled at TED. Funded projects then pursue their plans and share regular updates on key milestones reached with donors and the public.

Is Your Idea Audacious?

  • Are you a changemaker with a bold vision?
  • Are you a non-profit with an experienced team equipped to receive large scale philanthropic support?
  • Is your idea a proven concept that aspires to create a better world?
  • We look for ideas that cover a wide range of issues, from global health and climate change, to social justice and education.

What Makes An Idea Audacious?

  • Your idea should capture a bold vision for tackling one of the world's most urgent topics.
  • It is your opportunity to take a giant leap forward; you may be tempted to think incrementally, but remember for it to be bold, your idea should offer significant, enduring impact.
  • This vision should bring us much closer to your version of an ideal world in a matter of years rather than generations.
  • There should be a unique aspect or creative element to your approach that challenges convention or status quo or changes the narrative for the greater good.
  • There should be evidence that the idea will have impact based on a track record of past success, a demand from those that would be affected, and justified confidence that results can be sustained in the future.
  • There should be a sense of where you will be at the end of a multi-year funding term and the strategy, resources and timeline required to achieve it. We want to hear about the changes that would take place because of your idea, not just the components that go into implementing it.
  • You and your capable and confident team have the backing of a nonprofit, NGO, or institution (or is part of a collaboration between multiple such entities). This organization should be able to receive philanthropic funds and have the core infrastructure necessary to support the work. (Note: Past projects have had an annual operating budget of $1 million or more.)

Greater Nevada Mortgage taking applications for $50,000 down payment assistance program

The down payment assistance program for first-time home buyers is a partnership with the federal home loan bank of san francisco..

travel nevada grants

A Nevada-based mortgage company is taking applications for a down payment assistance program for first-time home buyers.

Greater Nevada Mortgage is providing a $50,000 grant to qualified applicants to use toward the down payment and closing costs of their first home. 

The program is done in partnership with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, which provided access to $20 million in grant funds to be used as down payment assistance. Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco is one of 11 regional banks sponsored by the U.S. government.

“This program provides a unique opportunity for working families and individuals who serve our community,” said James Anderson, Greater Nevada Mortgage president.

“We encourage those interested to apply quickly, as this is a considerable amount of money for down payment assistance, and this is a grant that doesn’t need to be paid back and isn’t a lien on the property.”

This is the second year that Greater Nevada Mortgage is taking applications for down payment assistance as part of this partnership with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. The grants are provided on a first-come, first-served basis so interested people are advised to apply soon before the funding runs out.

What are the qualifications for the $50,000 down payment assistance program?

Here are the requirements to qualify for the Middle-Income Down Payment Assistance program:

  • Applicants must be first-time home buyers as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Examples include people who have not owned a primary residence for three years and single parents or displaced homemakers who previously owned a house with their former spouse.
  • Applicants must contribute a minimum of $10,000 of their own money.
  • Households must make between 80% to 140% of the area median income where the property is located. For the 2022-2023 fiscal year, for example, the area median household income in Washoe County was $65,400 for a single person and $93,400 for a family of four.

Funds are limited and interested people are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. For more details, visit the Greater Nevada Mortgage Middle-Income Down Payment Assistance program site .

Greater Nevada Mortgage is a subsidiary of Greater Nevada Credit Union, which is a not-for-profit financial institution.
