OLYMPIA COMPANIES CHARITABLE FOUNDATION

The Olympia Companies Charitable Foundation (OCCF) is a non-profit organization of Olympia Companies established in 2001. Inspired by his own family and a desire to share his success, Olympia Companies Founder Garry Goett and his wife Darilyne started Olympia Companies Charitable Foundation with the mission to improve the quality of life of under-served families in southern Nevada, with a special emphasis on women and children. Since its inception in 2000, the Olympia Companies SH Charitable Foundation has called upon the most philanthropic members of the Las Vegas Community, and to date it has raised over $30 million to support numerous, non-profit organization that work tirelessly to serve families throughout the valley.

Olympia Companies has built some of Las Vegas’s most acclaimed developments – from welcoming master-planned communities and neighborhood shopping centers to thrilling gaming and entertainment destinations. We believe that to build healthy, thriving communities, first we need a strong foundation of healthy, thriving people and families. That’s why we started the Olympia Companies Charitable Foundation, to build a solid foundation of support for the most at-risk families, children, and individuals in Las Vegas and create more opportunities for them to improve their circumstances and live the best lives they can.
