NWP serves as a high impact giving-circle platform to connect philanthropically minded women devoted to improving the lives of Southern Nevadans.  As a volunteer-run organization, NWP encourages members to participate in all aspects of NWP’s operations, such as serving on committees and participating in member activities such as the annual Grant Hearing, Vote Count, Grant Celebration Luncheon, State of the Community Education Events, New-Member Gatherings, and Volunteer Events.

NWP believes that the strength of different experiences and views makes the annual grant process more generative and meaningful, not only for members, but also for the community. 

Each member contributes $5,000 annually with funds due before the annual Grant Hearing in April. The number of members corresponds to the size of the annual Impact Grant, with the grant size maxing out at $500,000.  An unrestricted Founders Grant is given to the runner-up.
