The Community Collaborative of Tahoe Truckee (CCTT), a program of Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation, is requesting those living in North Tahoe – Truckee to participate in a confidential survey. The survey will measure quality of life, community engagement, and behavioral health needs. Your anonymous participation will help local organizations develop programs to better address the health needs of your neighbors, colleagues, families, and loved ones. The survey, open from November 13, 2025, to February 7, 2026, helps inform strategies for the Tahoe Truckee Behavioral Health Roadmap. Read the press release.
Until midnight on March 31st, 2026, the community scholarship applications are open for local high school seniors.

Our online platform provides a streamlined common application, making it easier for you to pursue your dreams!
Together, our community achieved something truly remarkable! This year’s Give Back Tahoe campaign marked a historic moment, bringing neighbors, nonprofits, and supporters together to generate the highest collective giving the campaign has ever seen.
What matters to the community matters to us. The needs of the community are constantly evolving, and this is true for the nonprofits that serve this region. This year, TTCF has reimagined how we fund local nonprofits to better meet today’s challenges. Our approach to working alongside our nonprofits is rooted in trust-based relationships that reduce barriers for nonprofits, foster equity, and build long-term resilience.
For 2025, we eliminated competition in our community grantmaking and delivered $485,000 in unrestricted, mission-driven grants to 60 local nonprofits. No grant application, a lower administrative burden, and more impact.
Often, when it comes to our community’s toughest challenges and potential solutions, we hear the term “it doesn’t pencil.”
That is where philanthropy plays a role. By securing flexible, nimble funds from our donors, TTCF structures new ways to realize solutions. Our grantmaking and impact investing can be catalytic and regenerative when we take early-stage risk or inspire other funding.
TTCF has a legacy of projects that support a spectrum of these solutions, including Our Impact Portfolio, which focuses on our people and place.

TTCF creates unparalleled and integrated community services, develops creative and impactful giving programs, and creates numerous outreach programs to touch SO many here in Tahoe-Truckee.
When the ability to give more came into our lives, finding a way to do just that became a “now what” thought. TTCF has made this easy. They support us working with them which has increased our joy in giving. I’m grateful for the ways to support and for all who give of their time…truly grateful.
