The mission of the Tahoe Fund is to use the power of philanthropy to improve the Lake Tahoe environment for all to enjoy
About us
The Tahoe Fund was founded in 2010 to restore and enhance the Lake Tahoe environment by building broad support and funding for critical environmental improvement projects. Founded by leaders representing many diverse interests in the region, the Tahoe Fund is the first of its kind in the Basin to focus on raising private dollars for environmental improvement projects. These private dollars are leveraged for significantly more public funding to meet the large-scale needs of the Basin. The Tahoe Fund has secured more than $60 million in public funding for more than 80 projects. The Tahoe Fund is currently focused on bringing innovative solutions to the challenges facing Lake Tahoe with a core focus on these five areas: • Water quality and clarity • Outdoor recreation • Forest health • Transportation • Stewardship In addition to the project focus, the Tahoe Fund recognizes that in today’s society of limited resources, the future of Tahoe’s extraordinary environment is dependent on the ability of the various agencies and stakeholders in the Basin to work together. The Tahoe Fund is committed to acting as the catalyst for cooperative efforts to enable implementation of environmental projects. By working in partnership with the public agencies to bring people together and to provide funding, the Tahoe Fund sets a clear example for the benefits of collaboration necessary to improve and maintain the basin’s extraordinary environment. Through the generosity of our donors, the Tahoe Fund will ensure a Lake Tahoe where the natural and human environments are in balance and people enjoy, cherish and support this mountain treasure.
