Miles Dickson

Miles Dickson is CEO of Nevada GrantLab, a nonprofit he founded in 2020 with a mission to support nonprofits and their government partners to successfully access and administer federal grants that benefit Nevadans and strengthen their organizations.

Prior to GrantLab, Miles worked as a consultant supporting local governments and nonprofit organizations for more than a decade, and also briefly served as Chief of Staff in the Nevada State Treasurer’s Office. He also spent nearly eight years working in the region’s world class hospitality and tourism sector.

Miles has a Juris Doctorate from the Boyd School of Law and bachelor’s degree in Journalism from the Greenspun College of Urban Affairs, both at UNLV, and is a graduate of UCLA Anderson School of Management’s Executive Program. 

A third-generation Las Vegan, Miles is deeply involved in the community, including serving on the Boards of Directors of Opportunity 180 and Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance, the Community Board of Jeremiah Program Las Vegas, and previously on the advisory boards of Guinn Center for Policy Priorities, Teach for America Las Vegas Valley, and William S. Boyd School of Law. He is also a proud tribal member of Citizen Potawatomi Nation. 

Miles is obsessed with food – reading about it, constantly cooking, trying to share, eating way too much, etc. He’s lucky to share life with an understanding partner, Andy, and their Great Dane, Gemma.
