Nick Sarisahin has always wanted to help open educational opportunities for children and help shape community development. As an accomplished finance executive and CFO at the Coral Academy of Science, Sarisahin expertly manages accounting processes, budgetary control and fiscal planning for nonprofit entities.
Sarisahin led the issuance and management of school tax-exempt bond financing in the amount of $35 million for CASLV’s Cadence Campus construction, with another $42 million secured for existing campuses, including Sandy Ridge, Centennial Hills, Tamarus and Nellis Air Force Base. He also secured tax-exempt bond financing for public education with a qualified investment-grade totaling $72 million and returned millions of dollars back to education by qualifying minimum interest rates.
Dedication to students, especially populations with less access to quality education, drives Sarisahin. Even with limited state funding, his hard work has generated meaningful results for CASLV. He is also a founding board member at TEACH Las Vegas Charter School.
