UNLV School of Public Health

Engaging in impactful and innovative work that aims to improve quality of life and eliminate health disparities in our communities

Make an Impact on Public Health in Nevada and Beyond

At the UNLV School of Public Health, we believe that where you live should not determine how long or how well you live. Your support helps us train the next generation of public health leaders, conduct research that informs real-world solutions, and partner directly with communities to improve health outcomes across Nevada and beyond. Every gift strengthens our ability to respond to the challenges that matter most: maternal and child health, chronic disease, mental health, food insecurity, and access to care.

Why Give to Public Health?

Public health is often invisible, until it isn’t.

It’s the systems that keep families healthy, the data that shapes policy, and the partnerships that bring care to communities that need it most. At UNLV, our students and faculty are working every day to close gaps in access, build trust, and create solutions that last.

Your investment fuels that work.

Where Your Gift Goes

You can direct your gift to the area that matters most to you. Each fund supports a specific part of the School’s work across Nevada and beyond.
