Nevada Succeeds launched the InspirED Global Fellowship with partner Sands in July 2020 ­to help transform education in Nevada’s public schools, by looking to Singapore’s education system—one of the most internationally respected systems in the world—for lessons to d­­­evelop comprehensive, real-time innovations to implement in Nevada. Initially conceived as an in-person, immersive learning opportunity, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a different approach.

Sands has received a score of 85 out of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation’s 2021 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), the United States’ foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace equality. Responding to the survey for the first time this year, Sands joins 1,142 major U.S. businesses ranked in the 2021 CEI.

Sands Cares and Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth (NPHY) recently wrapped up the annual Southern Nevada Youth Homelessness Summit, taking place in 2020 for the first time as an all-virtual, panel discussion event. Though this year’s format was markedly different than that of Summits past, the aim remained the same: advancing solutions to end youth homelessness in our community.

Approximately 200 volunteers from Sands China Ltd. and local community groups recently worked together at The Venetian® Macao to build 40,000 hygiene kits for Clean the World, an international social enterprise that provides hygiene supplies essential for good health to populations in need around the globe, helping prevent the spread of disease.
