What Vegas Stronger does
Mission
Our mission is to reduce homelessness in our city through treating its root causes substance-abuse disorders and mental illness. Through our diverse staff, we educate the public on the best-practices in addressing our homeless crisis and utilize our thirteen strategies for treatment.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The purpose for the Las Vegas Metro Diversion Program is to receive referrals from Clark County Detention Center (CCDC) and Clark County Social Services (CCSS). Clients experiencing homelessness, chemical dependency, psychiatric disorders, trauma, incarceration related to non-violent offenses, and those seeking affiliation and acceptance are identified and provided solutions to issues that cannot be resolved through enforcements, arrest, incarceration, or prosecutions alone. Vegas Stronger is one of the sites Clark County has established which allows for immediate placement by law enforcement and social service for immediate stabilization, medical services, treatment, and housing.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $718k to $1.6M (+117%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 68% · 2022 68% · 2023 69% · 2024 61%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
64% of VEGAS STRONGER’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (48% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 6 funders, grant income rose $6k → $27k.
3 of 14 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 25% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of VEGAS STRONGER’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
VEGAS STRONGER has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 33% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
50% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund VEGAS STRONGER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 54% · 2022 77% · 2023 74% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
62% of VEGAS STRONGER's grant income comes from Nevada funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $30k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
