Turn Your Passion into Generosity

On Giving Tuesday, 1,675 people visited the website GiveBackTahoe.org, clicked a “Donate“ button, and gave money to more than 60 participating Tahoe-Truckee nonprofits. In that one day, Give Back Tahoe raised over $214,000. Some of these folks clicked a “Fundraise” button and created, in just a few minutes, their own campaign, which they could deploy to their friends via email, Facebook, Instagram, etc. The inclusion of this social media functionality is meant to turn this web portal into a “collective giving engine.”

Donating to TTCF’s General Support Fund enables us to continue serving the place you love, and your gift can be counted as an investment in Tahoe Truckee forever. Through deep-rooted partnerships, we are able to keep our finger on the pulse of our community, which allows us to identify the greatest needs and direct these flexible resources accordingly.

The Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation (TTCF) connects people and opportunities, generating resources to build a more caring, creative, and effective community. In addition to grantmaking to our local nonprofits and providing scholarships to local students, we focus on specific initiatives such as family strengthening, housing for our local workforce and forest health.
