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:
“I heard the hissing rustle of the liquid and sands as directed to
me whispering to congratulate me,
For the one I love most lay sleeping by me under the same cover in the cool night,
In the stillness in the autumn moonbeams his face was inclined
toward me,
And his arm lay lightly around my breast—and that night I
was happy.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“The poet needs a ground in popular tradition on which he may work, and which, again, may restrain his art within the due temperance. It holds him to the people, supplies a foundation for his edifice; and, in furnishing so much work done to his hand, leaves him at leisure, and in full strength for the audacities of his imagination.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
