CARSON CITY — Today, the Nevada Commission on Mentoring (NCOM) announced it is accepting applications for FY2025 micro-grants.
Micro-grants are available to nonprofit organizations or programs in the state of Nevada that provide mentorship to youth 3 to 24 years old.

NCOM has a total of $25,000 available to award to mentoring-focused programs throughout the state.
“On behalf of NCOM commissioners, I thank Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo, State Superintendent Jhone Ebert, the Nevada Department of Education, and members of the Nevada Legislature for allowing us to carry out our mission to support mentoring organizations across Nevada,” said NCOM Chairman Karl Catarata. “We are excited to help serve our mentoring partners with these additional resources and look forward to receiving applications from new and specialized organizations serving the diverse needs of our state.”
