At The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino, we take great pride in our role as a good corporate citizen and integral part of the Las Vegas community. With thousands of local team members providing for our guests, it's only logical that we, in turn, provide assistance to them and their neighbors in times of need. While we understand that there are times when local residents in crisis could use a lifeboat, we're hoping a gondola will do.

To Qualify:

Any member of the Las Vegas community facing a crisis is eligible to receive assistance from The Venetian Foundation Community Crisis Fund. Crisis may consist of immediate family disasters such as fire, accident, sudden illness, personal tragedy, or other life-altering events in which the individual suffers severe financial hardship. Requests for assistance are considered on a case-by-case basis. Applicants must have first exhausted all other sources of financial assistance, including family, friends, churches, public services, alimony, child support, 401(k) plans, and checking and savings accounts. Mortgage/rent, utilities, and needs for living expenses are funded only in the case of an emergency. All assistance through The Venetian Foundation will be paid directly to the source providing the service needed.

Application and Processing:

Fill out and then print Venetian Foundation "Individuals in Community Crisis" Fund Application (pdf file).

The Venetian Foundation committee reviews completed applications within a 30-day period. Incomplete applications, including undocumented and unsigned applications, can not be processed and are returned for applicant pick-up and completion.
