SPARKS, Nev., December 29, 2020 – Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC), the global aerospace and national security leader owned by Eren and Fatih Ozmen, is ending the year by donating $400,000 to more than a dozen nonprofits selected by the employees themselves. The funds normally earmarked for year-end events and meetings are instead going toward meeting critical needs within the communities where SNC’s employees live and work.

We are proud that our employees are so eager to support the nonprofits in their communities as they step up to meet the needs around them.”
SNC employees selected the following nonprofit organizations for their contributions:
Denver, Colorado: Home to SNC’s ISR, Aviation & Security, and Space Systems business areas.
Reno, Nevada: Home to SNC’s headquarters, and Electronic & Information Systems business area.
