Bank of America is covering all administrative fees and underwriting expenses related to the fund.  When you make your gift to the fund, you can also support United Way of Southern Nevada’s general fund and help move our community forward. Together, we can make sure Nevadans can succeed, now and in the future. Learn how you can access support and find other community resources at uwsn.org/COVID19.
