Overview

Mission

Dedicated to an intersectional approach to changing law, policy, and attitudes so that all nevadans can live safely, authentically and free from fear, violence and mistreatment regardless of their sex/gender identity or expression.

What it reported doing in 2021

Education & advocacy: gender justice Nevada is a statewide educational and advocacy organization. Provided diversity and inclusion trainings to over 1,200 people, supported hundreds of lgbtq+ individuals with advocacy and outreach, and worked to mobiilze marginalized communities. Worked with over 20 local community based organizations to ensure an intersectional approach and assisted over 20 individuals with document change to affirm their gender identities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
