SmartSlaps Foundation / Nevada
Our founding state. Our shared responsibility.

Nevada starts
with us.

Every school has people who care. SmartSlaps helps turn that care into organized community support.

Start with a need people can see.

Classroom supplies. Library resources. A school program with a clear budget. Choose something useful, organize the people who care and show what their support makes possible.

Our first statewide milestone is an approved school team in each of Nevada’s 17 areas. Our invitation is open to every Nevada school. Then we grow from real results: donations received, support delivered and the next need funded.

Sources and how the math works

Population: U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2025 estimates for July 1, 2025. Total residents are shown for context; giving scenarios use the population age 18 and older. Each area’s adults × participation rate is rounded to the nearest whole person, then multiplied by the gift amount. State totals sum the 17 areas. The yearly illustration assumes the same people complete 12 monthly gifts.

Sources: Census county population by age and Census county population totals. These scenarios show potential voluntary support. They do not establish that donations can replace a school budget or change public funding or taxes.

You bring the people. We help put it together.

1

Tell us about your school.

Share the need and an adult contact. You can start before you have a complete plan. We help identify the right recipient, permissions and a clear goal.

2

Build a team. Share SmartSlaps.

After approval, we help set up your fundraising page and plan your SmartSlaps supply. Use your team’s donation link to track its support. Classrooms can take part in friendly challenges.

3

Follow the support through.

Track donations, fees, approved distributions and what the recipient receives. Give supporters a clear update on the need their gifts helped meet.

SmartSlaps are the fundraising vehicle. The shared QR opens our donation route; use the dedicated team link for team credit. School participation and recipient approval are confirmed during onboarding.

Every part of Nevada has a place.

Start with your county or Carson City. A teacher, parent or community organizer can reach out. Listing an area or district here is an invitation, not a claim of partnership.

Charter schools and other school communities are welcome.

Use the same school team request. You do not need to wait for a district-wide rollout. Nevada’s official district and school directory includes district and charter-school routes.

A clear start. A clear purpose.

Can parents start a team?

Yes. Parents can organize support for a school or an approved community service. We help confirm the recipient and permission to represent the need. Funds support the approved mission rather than a personal household.

Do we need an established fundraising team?

No. Tell us who you want to help and what you know about the need. We can help with the plan, setup and next steps. If your school already has a team, we can discuss how SmartSlaps fits.

How do we keep it accountable?

Agree on the recipient, purpose and budget before fundraising goes live. Keep team attribution and transaction records together. Distinguish gross donations from the amount available after fees, then record approved distributions and recipient updates. SmartSlaps processes approved distributions on the 1st of the month, subject to cleared funds and recipient verification.

Is this only for schools?

Schools are the first Nevada organizing focus. Libraries, police, fire, EMS, museums and other community services can also ask for help starting a team.

Let’s make your school the next starting point.

Tell us where you are and who you want to help. We will work with you on the next step.
