In a bold demonstration of community leadership, the Las Vegas Raiders have announced a transformative $25 million philanthropic commitment to establish Nevada’s first-ever stand-alone children’s hospital in partnership with Intermountain Health.
The landmark gift represents the largest charitable contribution in the franchise’s history, with team owners Mark Davis, Egon Durban, and Michael Meldman each personally contributing $5 million, while the organization added $10 million to complete the donation.

“We want this gift to remind children and families that they have our team backing them and that the support of the entire Raider Nation is in their corner,” Davis said in a statement about the philanthropic achievement.
Mitch Cloward, Intermountain Health’s region president, emphasized the lasting impact of the donation: “The Raiders are committed to excellence, and this gift is a generational investment that will keep families closer, strengthen our community, and give every kid every chance to thrive.”

As a result of the generous contribution, Intermountain Health Nevada Children’s Hospital will name its physical therapy and rehabilitation space, along with its bistro, in the Raiders’ honor. The Las Vegas Raiders Bistro will be located adjacent to the hospital’s main lobby, creating a welcoming space where caregivers and parents can take a moment for a quiet meal or seek normalcy during challenging times.
“Sports reminds us that we do our best when we have the right team around us,” Meldman said. “Families deserve to feel supported every step of the way. In addition to the experts at Intermountain Health, the Raiders family stands with our community’s kids.”

The Las Vegas Raiders Inpatient Rehab Gym will also serve as a vital space where children can heal, grow stronger, and regain confidence through movement and play, featuring advanced therapeutic equipment alongside playful design elements that make therapy feel empowering and fun.
“When we invest in children, we invest in everything that comes next – their education, their opportunities, and their future,” Sandra Douglass Morgan, president of the Raiders, said. “We want Nevada’s kids to know that their home team is cheering them on.”
The planned 828,000-square-foot facility will be constructed on a 33-acre campus at the UNLV Harry Reid Research and Technology Park, featuring 180 patient beds with room for expansion. The hospital will offer advanced emergency services specifically designed for children, along with comprehensive outpatient and specialty care capabilities.
Construction is scheduled to begin in the coming months, with completion expected in 2030.
