AIOP Southern Nevada, a commercial real estate organization, had a successful year in 2024 through its Community Service Committee. The committee partnered with local nonprofits to make a significant impact on the community, donating over $50,000 and volunteering more than 1,200 hours.

    One notable initiative was the Street Teens Donation Drive, which collected hundreds of donated items and raised $1,450 for homeless, abandoned, and at-risk youth in the Las Vegas Valley. Committee members also volunteered to pack backpacks for teens served by the program. Additionally, NAIOP's partnership with Hollingsworth Steam Academy resulted in 14,922 school supplies being collected and $5,700 raised for the 2024/2025 school year.

    During the holiday season, the committee partnered with Communities in Schools to provide Thanksgiving meals to 40 families at Walter V. Long Elementary School, contributing over $6,000 in groceries and distributing another $10,000 in grocery gift cards. The Catholic Workers Donation Drive saw committee members packing over 200 meals and assembling care packages for homeless people.

    The year culminated with NAIOP Southern Nevada's participation in the Children's Foundation of Las Vegas annual toy drive, collecting thousands of toys valued at over $10,000 and another $3,000 in gift cards benefiting Clark County foster children. "These initiatives represent the heart of NAIOP's commitment to our community," said Megan McInerney, Community Service Committee chair.
