Opportunity 180 operates in the philanthropic fundraising sector with a focus on improving access to public education for children in the Las Vegas Valley. It maintains that educational opportunity should not be determined by zip code or income and works to ensure equitable access to high-quality public schools. Founded in 2015 and based in Las Vegas, Nevada, the organization aims to launch and invest in new schools to bring about changes in opportunities for urban students. Its efforts target about 25,000 Clark County students who attend underperforming schools in low-income neighborhoods. In March 2018, Opportunity 180 announced a partnership with Teach Plus to expand educator-informed policy fellowships into Nevada, reflecting a collaborative approach to education policy. The group operates from its Las Vegas location and maintains a very small staff.
