SUPPORT NEVADA GIRLS STATE
Send a young woman to Nevada Girls State
Since 1947, young women from across Nevada have learned how government works by running one for a week. It costs about $850 to send one participant. Families pay $400. Donors cover the rest.

Where your gift goes
Every participant is subsidized, even the ones whose families pay in full. And when a family can’t pay at all, a sponsor covers their share too. In 2026, that was 26 of our 65 participants.
