HELMS HELPS FOUNDATION
Helping nonprofits so more of our community can thrive.
Collaborating to improve the quality of life for all in Las Vegas
Food, shelter, education, and health are the cornerstones of a strong and thriving society. That’s why we partner with local nonprofits that work to provide these fundamental needs and toward prevention.
Through strategic support and monthly donation-matching campaigns, Helms Helps is committed to collaboration and driving long-term, positive change across the Las Vegas Valley.
In 2024, we created the Helms Helps Alliance so other philanthropists can join our mission and help make an even bigger impact. Learn more >

The Helms Helps Alliance will be matching donations up to $20K in the month of November 2025.
SUCCESS STORIES

Vegas Stronger
Raised $71,517
“As a nonprofit that only started our development program to attract private philanthropic support, we would receive a donation now and then. The Helms Helps matching campaign helped us expand our donor base, raise awareness to our mission and purpose, and attracted first time donors who did not know about us before.
Since our matching campaign, we’ve been able to engage with these donors and build relationships with them for long term support… Terry Helms doesn't just write a check, he helps nonprofits learn to be strategic and allows his donation to be leveraged to encourage others to join in.”

“Before Helms Helps, our team was deeply committed to ending period poverty, but we often faced the challenge of stretching limited resources to meet growing community needs. The $20,000 matching campaign was a game changer. It energized new supporters, doubled the impact of every donation, and reminded us how powerful it is when a community comes together around a shared purpose.
Helms Helps didn’t just match funds, they matched our passion with opportunity. Their support helped us build meaningful collaborations and momentum that continue to move us closer to a world where no one is held back because of their period. PERIOD”
