Aligning regional philanthropy: Regional funders join forces for the 2026 Regional Community Grant Cycle

TRUCKEE, Calif. – A growing coalition of regional funders — Martis Fund, Tahoe Donner Giving Fund, Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation (TTCF), and new participant Martis Camp Foundation — has aligned around a shared Common Application for the 2026 Regional Community Grant Cycle, aiming to reduce the administrative burden nonprofits face when applying to multiple funders separately. The co-funders anticipate distributing more than $2 million combined through the cycle, which opens August 1 and closes August 31, 2026. Each funder retains full discretion over its own priorities and final decisions, with TTCF facilitating the shared application, due diligence, and committee process. “TTCF’s Board of Directors and team are pleased to have our long-time partners, Martis Fund and Tahoe Donner Giving Fund, recommit and are truly excited to welcome Martis Camp Foundation to join our efforts,” said Stacy Caldwell, CEO of Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation.
