Vision Statement

To be a contributor in creating a thriving and resilient Southern Nevada economy by ensuring Small Business Supporters have the resources needed to enable entrepreneurs build a lasting business that strengthens our entire community.

Who We Are

NETS is a local 501(c)(3) non-profit with deep roots in this community. We were founded in 2004 by members of SCORE Las Vegas who saw a need to ensure that free enterprise has the best chance to succeed. Our mission is to strengthen Southern Nevada by supporting the organizations that provide vital business education and training to entrepreneurs. We act as a strategic partner, providing funding to these front-line groups so they can empower aspiring and current business owners with the knowledge they need to build sustainable, successful companies.

An Invitation to Dream

To everyone in our community who has ever had an idea for a business, we want you to know that your dream is the future of Southern Nevada. The journey of an entrepreneur can be challenging, but you don't have to walk it alone. Our community is rich with resources and organizations, the very ones we support, ready to provide the mentorship and training to help you turn your vision into a reality.

A Stronger Community for All

When small businesses thrive, our entire community wins. They create jobs, spark innovation, and build a resilient local economy that benefits everyone. We invite you to join us in this mission. Support the local businesses in your neighborhood. Encourage the aspiring entrepreneurs among your friends and family. Together, we can continue to build a vibrant and prosperous future for all of Southern Nevada.

To our Donors

Fueling the Future of Southern Nevada’s Economy

In Southern Nevada, small businesses are the backbone of our community. They are the engines of growth and the embodiment of the dream of free enterprise. At Nevada Educational and Training Services, Inc. (NETS), our mission is to ensure that every entrepreneur with a great idea has the best chance to succeed. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports entities providing essential training and education for these aspiring business owners.

Our approach is unique and effective. We provide critical financial support to established, front-line organizations that deliver vital economic education and mentorship to local entrepreneurs. We address a key problem in our community: that too many business owners lack the resource knowledge needed to navigate the challenges of the modern marketplace and build a sustainable company. By funding these educational programs, we help increase the number of small businesses that survive beyond five years, creating a stronger, more resilient local economy.

Your contribution to NETS is an investment in the future of our community. As a donor, you are not just giving money; you are providing the resources that help entrepreneurs realize their dreams. Every dollar you donate is managed with the highest integrity, with all financial records maintained according to GAAP standards. Our model is designed for long-term sustainability, ensuring donations are managed prudently so our core fund can grow and continue to support our mission for years to come.

Join us in our mission. Help us strengthen Southern Nevada's small business community through the power of education. Your support will help create the next generation of successful businesses that make our community a better place to live and work
