It’s been almost three months since a gunman opened fire at a Las Vegas music festival and killed 58 people.

Since then, more than $22 million has been donated to help families of those killed and those who survived.

The Las Vegas Victims’ Fund is a nonprofit corporation established to distribute the money.

A committee of 17 people representing the Las Vegas community oversees the fund and the group recently released its final protocol for distribution of funds. Scott Nielson chairs the committee.
