The Rebel community is defined by its resilience, strength, and generosity. The UNLV Foundation is firmly committed to supporting the university as it strives to achieve its goals for achieving excellence in research, workforce development, and student success. The Foundation secures donations and resources to strategically support our university in meeting its goals. Through this continued effort, we aim to further cultivate a dynamic culture of faculty-student research, community partnerships, and diverse experiential learning opportunities in the lab, studio, and field. UNLV graduates are making a positive impact in a growing number of fields, and their influence extends around the world and within the Silver State, where a majority of UNLV alumni choose to build and contribute to their communities after graduation. In FY24, donors gave more than $51.9 million in new gifts, pledges, and services. These funds enhance the quality of the university and its missions of educating students, driving research and innovation, and stimulating our community's well-being and economic development.
