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!
