programs supported

Marine Corps League #630 Silver State Detachment is a 501(c)(3) non-profit tax exempt service organization.  Donations are not tax deductible.  We financially support the following Marine Veteran, Marine Youth and Community organizations in Northern Nevada and Carson Valley:

  • Nevada Department of Veteran Services (NDVS):  Beautification of Northern and Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemeteries, Northern and Southern Nevada State Veterans Homes and Veterans programs and services.
  • Military Animal Project (MAP):  Provides  military veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Military Sexual Trauma (MST), Anxiety, and Depression, a means to heal through; Therapy, Emotional Support, Service Dogs & our Equine Buddies Program. In addition, we provide Veteran Pet Support Services on a case-by-case basis. All of our services are provided at NO CHARGE to our Military Veterans.
  • Devil Pups, youth program for America:  Devil Pups is a 10 day encampment each July at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, CA. The camp emphasizes the development of leadership skills and physical fitness of youth between the ages of 14 and 17.
  • Children's Miracle Network:  Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals was founded more than 40 years ago with the vision to Change Kids’ Health, Change the Future. We’ve raised over $9 billion for 170 children’s hospitals by empowering and engaging with local communities and businesses. All donations benefit local member hospitals such as, Renown Children's Hospital in Reno, to fund what’s needed most, like critical life-saving treatments and healthcare services, innovative research, vital pediatric medical equipment, child life services that put kids’ and families’ minds at ease during difficult hospital stays, and financial assistance for families who could not otherwise afford these health services.
  • Carson High School (Carson City, NV) Naval Junior Reserve Officers Training Cadre (NJROTC) Scholarships:  Marine Corps League #630 works together with the Carson High staff of the NJROTC program to identify deserving student cadets who have excelled in academics, leadership and citizenship.  Once the cadet or cadets have been identified, a donation is made by MCL 630 towards the scholarships of these cadets.  

Without the community's generosity, MCL 630 would not be able to help support these Marine Veterans, Families or Youth programs.
