ELKO, NEVADA – DECEMBER 6, 2021 – Nevada Gold Mines (NGM) is pleased to announce the company’s charitable workplace giving program, the Heritage Fund, contributed over $780,000 to 580 non-profit organizations in its inaugural year. The program launched in December 2020 with an initial $25 gift from the company to all employees to kick off their giving. NGM also matches all donations made by employees to qualified non-profits at 120 percent. The mission of the Heritage Fund is to support the communities where we live and operate now and into the future.

“This was an exciting first year for the Heritage Fund! Thanks to the 1,900 employees engaged in the program, the Heritage Fund made a significant impact in our local communities. While still in its infancy, we will only see this program grow and become more successful” said Shane Moss, Heritage Fund Executive Director.
Last week, the company celebrated the fund’s first anniversary with local non-profit organizations and community leaders. At the event, several non-profit leaders recognized how impactful the NGM Heritage Fund program has been to their organizations.

“With the Heritage Fund, we can lend a helping hand, equipment, supplies, and pay for pain medication at a time of great stress and sadness for families. Nevada Gold Mines employee giving has enabled us to do the work in our community without a cost to these families. We cannot thank the Heritage Fund, and all the employees enough for the generosity” said Billie Jean Crawford, Director, Horizon Hospice.

“The Heritage Fund is just one of the many ways NGM is working to help support Nevada,” says Greg Walker, Nevada Gold Mines Executive Managing Director. “Providing a convenient avenue for our employees to give to non-profits they are passionate about while also addressing the important needs of our communities makes this worthwhile. Our company match is a win-win for us in being able to support our employees’ funding decisions and the non-profit community.”
