Three major sources of funds are available in Nevada for victims and related initiatives of the Oct. 1 shooting. 1. Nevada Victims of Crime program The fund is financed primarily by fines and penalties paid by convicted offenders, not by tax dollars. The money is used to pay for a variety of services, including medical bills, funerals and counseling for anybody who was a victim of a crime that took place in Nevada. 2. Las Vegas Victims’ Fund This 501(c)(3) nonprofit was set up on behalf of Clark County and has collected money from around the world in response to the shootings at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival. The entirety of the money in the Las Vegas Victims’ Fund will go to people in three categories. 3. Vegas Strong Fund The Vegas Strong Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit created by the Nevada resort industry in response to the shooting. Half of whatever the Vegas Strong Fund collects was slated to land in the Las Vegas Victims' Fund by Jan. 31. Jan Jones Blackhurst, chairperson of the Vegas Strong Fund, said the other half will “support long-term needs of the community.”
