Thank you Newmont Legacy Fund!



At Nevada Outdoor School, our mission is to inspire exploration of the natural world, responsible stewardship of our habitat and dedication to community.  We reach this mission through four main programs: Education, Outdoor Ethics, Community Outreach and AmeriCorps. 

As a non-profit, it is a constant struggle to secure funding which enables us to run the best quality and quantity of programs possible.  Although NOS is primarily grant funded, diversified funding sources are extremely important to the overall success and longevity of our organization.  Among these different funding sources include corporate and individual donations.   

We have been extremely fortunate and are very grateful to have a great partnership with Newmont Mining Corporation. Not only has NEWMONT as a cooperation been generous in providing funds for our annual Dutch Oven Cook-Off Fundraiser and recent expansion into the Elko community, the employees at NEWMONT who participate in the Newmont Legacy Fund have also been extremely generous in helping fund all aspects of Nevada Outdoor School programs which strive to connect Nevadans of all ages to the natural world. 
Thanks to NEWMONT’S LEGACY FUND CAMPAIGN and all the generous employee giving we are able to deliver field trips to the Humboldt River, Water Canyon, Lovelock Cave and Marzen House Museum, Lamoille Canyon and Summer Camps in Winnemucca, Elko, Lamoille Canyon, the Santa Rosa Mountains and Lake Tahoe! 
 
We would like to give a very big and heartfelt THANK YOU to those employees (and all the employees from other companies and organizations that participate in these types of giving programs) that help better their local communities through generous donations to causes they deem worthy.  

 


This year our projected donations from NEWMONTS LEGACY FUND  are $60,139.84 for 2017, which is an increase of  60% over last year!  WOW!! THANK YOU NEWMONT EMPLOYEES AND NEWMONT MINING CORPORATION.  We couldn’t do it without YOU!


With NOS education programs reaching over 1,200 students per month, we want the current generation of youth to have the opportunity to learn and grow outdoors, away from sedentary electronic media.  We hope to inspire students to take an interest in science, natural resources and careers in those fields.   Learning should be fun and dirty whenever possible!  So, come on…let’s go and PLAY IN THE OUTDOORS!
