Turn Your Passion into Generosity

Give Back Tahoe is TTCF’s annual, end-of-year giving campaign that raises awareness and unrestricted funds for our local nonprofits. Since 2014, TTCF’s Give Back Tahoe Giving Season has raised more than $3 million for local nonprofits.

The platform is also available for nonprofits to use free of charge all year long:

  • to raise funds as a community during the annual Give Back Tahoe Giving Season
  • to recruit and manage volunteers
  • to develop skills in fundraising, marketing, and donor cultivation using the platforms resources and training tools

2021 GIVE BACK TAHOE

Give Back Tahoe returned for the eighth year with 60 organizations competing for $50,000+ in challenge grants. Givebacktahoe.org serves as a guide to local nonprofits all year long, but there are extra incentives for donations made during the challenge grant period. By making a donation during the challenge grant period, donors help increase the odds of nonprofits winning a challenge grant.

Check out this video that highlights community members who have supported this campaign to make a difference in the Tahoe Truckee region.

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.”
