Our Story
Founded in the summer of 2021 by Northern Nevada native Tyler Cornu, the Nevada Kids Foundation was born from a deep commitment to support local youth facing significant challenges. After years of personally adopting families for Christmas, Tyler recognized the urgent needs of struggling youth in the community, especially in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic and the ongoing affordable housing crisis. Partnering with Director Kallie Todaro, the foundation aims to fill the gaps in resources and support for these young individuals, ensuring they receive help not just during the holidays, but throughout the entire year.
