The Nevada Public Education Foundation was established in 1991 for public educational and charitable purposes in Nevada. The Foundation was reorganized December 13, 2000 with a new board of trustees. The Foundation has established four committees: Finance, Marketing/Fundraising, Recognition Programs, and Allocations. The Board of Trustees has carefully selected its members so that they possess the leadership, financial, and organizational skills to create a successful non-profit organization.

An Honorary Board has been established with Governor Jim Gibbons as honorary chairman. The board consists of many distinguished Nevada business owners, civic leaders and elected officials.
