The Home Means Las Vegas Fund

With the help of local philanthropy leaders, we’re offering up to $35,000 per year for two years to help TFA alumni relocate to Las Vegas and build their next chapter here.

What does that mean?

Up To 35 Alumni Each Year

Up to 35 TFA alumni each year for the next two years can participate.

Up To $70,000 Total

Eligible alumni can receive up to $35,000 per year for two years — up to $70,000 total.

Up To $140,000 For Couples

If two TFA alumni are married, each person may receive up to $70,000, for a combined total of up to $140,000.

More Than Financial Support

But This Opportunity Is About More Than Financial Support.

Maybe you want to stay in education. Maybe you want to try something completely new. Either way, Las Vegas needs your leadership.

Why Las Vegas?

Come For The Opportunity. Stay For The Community.

Las Vegas is so much more than the Strip! It’s a diverse, growing community with a big-city feel and a small-town heart. There are great restaurants, unique cultural experiences, family-friendly neighborhoods, and plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors, from hiking and biking to exploring the more than 60 million acres of public land and 28 state parks across Nevada.

Las Vegas is growing quickly, and right now is an exciting time to be here. There’s a real opportunity for people to get involved, build relationships, and make a difference in the community.

Here, your ideas can move from conversation to action.
