President's Message
The first quarter of 2024 has been incredibly promising for Nevada Women's Fund, marked by significant opportunities and substantial growth. This spring, we will award a record-breaking number of scholarships totaling $500,000, a goal made possible by the unwavering support of our longstanding donors and new strategic initiatives. Our focus on aligning scholarships with workforce development in northern Nevada has not only garnered the backing of corporate partners, both big and small, but also fostered collaborative efforts that are paving the way for a robust, highly educated female workforce.
We have successfully concluded a comprehensive three-year strategic plan, underscoring the vital significance of our mission rooted in education. This plan set our goals for the coming years to extend our vision beyond the formative educational years of women, to support ongoing education, professional advancement and advocacy within the workplace. Our commitment extends beyond merely eliminating barriers to education; it encompasses championing the diverse needs and fostering abundant opportunities for women throughout their entire professional journeys.

We're thrilled to showcase our recent collaboration with TEDxReno, where we had the honor of sharing the stage with Alexandra Carter at an inaugural TEDxReno Salon to facilitate candid discussions on the workplace challenges faced by women. The enthusiastic response from a sold-out audience vividly demonstrates women's eagerness for these crucial conversations.
Additionally, we highlight a unique opportunity I recently had to tour Cortez Mine alongside our Corporate Partners, Nevada Mining Association, and Nevada Gold Mines, and announce our most recent venture into the podcast space!
On the back cover of this newsletter, we invite you to join us at the 32nd
