In Nevada’s 2022 State of the State Address, Governor Sisolak announced an additional $160 million to be invested in child care providers. These funds will be distributed directly to those organizations in need and for specific staffing and technology needs at state agencies.
This funding comes as a part of the American Rescue Plan, an act approved by congress in 2021 to provide emergency grants to organizations and businesses hit hardest during the pandemic.

- $1 million to Special Olympics Nevada

- $44,280 to Ely Co-Op Magic Carpet Preschool
- $42,000 to the White Pine Ministerial Association
- $41,600 to the Carson Valley Community Food Closet
In addition to this direct funding, the state’s Interim Finance Committee approved another $5.08 million for state agencies:
- $1.5 million to the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources
- $1.4 million to the Gaming Control Board
- $652,000 to the Nevada Equal Rights Commission
- $477,606 to the Office of Health Administration

How can you position your organization to boost funding?
Information is everything these days – it’s about quality AND quantity. You need a system in place that lets you collect and report on criteria no one else is utilizing. This differentiates your organization from the flock and makes you more likely to land funding like this in your backyard rather than in your neighbor’s.
