CIS Receives Coveted Grant From Nevada Women’s Philanthropy Group!

Communities In Schools of Nevada is thrilled to be the recipient of a coveted grant from Nevada Women’s’ Philanthropy group! The grant for $350,000 is being used to purchase 240 computers for six area high schools! The grant funds will help thousands of at-risk teenagers who are enrolled in its CIS Academy courses to create college applications and resumes, fill out scholarship forms and job applications. “The money NWP has invested with Communities In Schools will be used to purchase desperately needed computers that will help the 16,000 students at the six high schools CIS serves in the Clark County School District,” Diane Fearon, CIS’s chief executive officer said.

Once the computers are in schools, we will have pictures of the equipment in schools and more info- but for now, on behalf of all the students in these schools who now have a better chance than ever of achieving in life after high school – Thank you, NWP!
