Sands Foundation
Las Vegas Sands Corp.’s primary philanthropic efforts are pursued through its charitable arm: the Sands Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. The foundation pursues a mission of supporting charitable organizations and endeavors that concentrate on assisting youth, promoting health, aiding wounded veterans, and expanding educational opportunities within local communities. The foundation also supports causes that empower minority communities and improve underprivileged areas, as well as other philanthropic activities permitted under relevant tax-exempt laws.
Sands Foundation charitable gifts are a combination of contributions and voluntary employee donations. In addition to millions of dollars in charitable giving, Las Vegas Sands also joins with employees, their spouses, children, and community members in programs and activities that aim to encourage, educate, and enrich the lives of those who live in the communities in which the company does business.

Famous quotes containing the words sands and/or foundation:
“Out of the cradle endlessly rocking,
Out of the mocking-bird’s throat, the musical shuttle,
Out of the Ninth-month midnight,
Over the sterile sands and the fields beyond, where the child
leaving his bed wandered alone, bareheaded, barefoot”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“A face is too slight a foundation for happiness.”
—Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)
