TAHOE FUND FISCAL YEAR 21-22 RECAP

June 14, 2022 by Caroline Waldman

Reflecting on the Tahoe Fund’s most recent fiscal year that closed at the end of March, we are deeply rooted in a single feeling: gratitude.

Even amidst the uncertainty caused by the pandemic and wildfires, our community rallied alongside us, reinforcing our philosophy that together, we can improve the Lake Tahoe environment for all to enjoy.

The unwavering support of our donors and steadfast partners throughout the Basin allowed us to fund 42 projects last year–more than ever before. We distributed more than $1 million in grants, and helped secure over $4 million in public funding.

We continue to believe that partnerships are the key to success. Last year, in addition to the 50 partners we worked with on the Take Care Tahoe program, we partnered with over 30 agencies and organizations whose dedication and collaborative spirit allowed us to accomplish so much more collectively than any of us could have on our own.

We helped get great projects done, like the first ever scuba clean up of all 72 miles of Lake Tahoe, an effort led by Clean Up The Lake with major support from Tahoe Blue Vodka, Vail Resorts and over 135 Tahoe Fund donors. With our support, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and the US Forest Service embarked on the largest Aquatic Invasive Species project to-date in the Tahoe Basin at the Taylor and Tallac creeks and marshes. We also provided the funds for the Tahoe Area Mountain Biking Association and the Tahoe Rim Trail Association to begin restoring and rebuilding trails destroyed by the Caldor Fire.  

Working with our partners, we are expanding inclusivity and access while building the next generation of stewards who will care for our environment for years to come. For example, we are proudly supporting youth leadership programs through Adventure Risk Challenge and the US Forest Service, field trips to the universally accessible East Shore Trail for campers with disabilities at Camp Wamp, and trailside information and stories in multiple languages throughout the Tahoe Rim Trail. 

Together, we are making our forests smarter, our Lake clearer, our recreation more sustainable, our transportation more efficient, and our community more prepared to take care of Tahoe.

None of this would be possible without the support, generosity and collaboration of our donors, community and partners. Thank you for continuing to show us the power of philanthropy. This work happened because of you.

Match Met: Tahoe Fund Challenge Raises $26K for Tahoe Backcountry Alliance

January 12, 2026 by Caroline Waldman

More than 100 donors helped unlock matching funds

Backcountry access in Lake Tahoe received a huge boost thanks to community members participating in the Tahoe Fund’s $10K for TBA matching challenge. The nonprofit organization today announced that more than 100 people donated to support the Tahoe Backcountry Alliance (TBA), unlocking a $10,000 gift from the Tahoe Fund and raising over $26,000 to help TBA improve backcountry access for all. 

“We called on backcountry enthusiasts to help meet this challenge for TBA’s 10th anniversary, and they blew us away,” said Verdi DiSesa, Tahoe Fund Board Chair. “Thanks to the incredible support from this dedicated community, we are able to make TBA’s job of increasing safe access to the backcountry a little bit easier.”

For over a decade, the Tahoe Backcountry Alliance has been tackling backcountry access issues like parking availability, snow removal, and limited trailheads. As part of their mission, they also offer cross-country ski and snowshoe experiences as part of the Washoe Tribe’s Youth Expedition Program, and provide opportunities to borrow sno-park passes and gear for free at libraries throughout El Dorado, Placer and Nevada Counties.

“We are deeply grateful to the Tahoe Fund for championing our work and investing in human-powered backcountry access for all,” said Anthony Cupaiuolo, Tahoe Backcountry Alliance Executive Director. “This matching campaign will make a meaningful impact for the growing winter backcountry community—from experienced backcountry skiers and snowboarders using the trailheads we manage, to families accessing snow affordably through free sno-park passes and gear available via our library partnerships.”

As part of the challenge, donors that gifted $35 or more received a TBA membership that corresponded to their gift level, offering them access to a community of backcountry experts as well as fun giveaways. Even though the challenge is over, TBA memberships are always available at tahoebackcountryalliance.org/membership.

TAHOE FUND ISSUES CALL FOR 2026 PROJECTS

December 10, 2025 by Caroline Waldman

The Tahoe Fund today announced the opening of its annual call for projects. The nonprofit is seeking projects for its 2026 portfolio that will reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire, improve the health of the lake, and make it easier to get around, enjoy, and take care of Lake Tahoe.

Public agencies, nonprofits and environmentally focused businesses are invited to submit proposals for projects that require $5,000 to $1,000,000 in funding. Projects with the ability to leverage public funding as a result of Tahoe Fund support will be prioritized.

“Every year, we are blown away by the creativity of the projects submitted for funding consideration,” said Caitlin Meyer, Chief Program Officer for the Tahoe Fund. “From transforming trailhead restrooms with beautiful murals to sending roving inspectors to busy beaches to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species, our partners continue to lead with innovation as they work to improve the Tahoe environment.”

Since its inception, the Tahoe Fund has worked with more than 50 partners to support over 220 projects in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Some highlights include using cutting-edge technology to create more fire-ready neighborhoods through the Fire Smart Community Pilots, acquiring and demolishing the former Motel 6 site in the Upper Truckee River Marsh to make way for restoration of this sensitive wetland, and piloting a new shuttle service to Emerald Bay to make it easier to visit one of Tahoe’s most popular spots without driving.

All submissions will be reviewed by the Tahoe Fund Board of Directors, which is tasked with developing the Tahoe Fund’s project portfolio. Projects submitted for consideration may receive immediate funding or be selected for a Tahoe Fund project campaign in 2026. 

Project submissions are due by January 31, 2026. Guidelines and the request for project submission form can be found here.

Tahoe Fund Launches $10K Challenge to Improve Backcountry Access for All

December 1, 2025 by Caroline Waldman

Only 100 donors needed to unlock $10,000 for Tahoe Backcountry Alliance

The Tahoe region offers some of the best winter outdoor recreation in the world, but parking availability, snow removal, and limited trailheads often make the backcountry difficult to access. To help the Tahoe Backcountry Alliance tackle these issues, the Tahoe Fund is launching a new $10k matching challenge to the community. 

The first 100 people to donate $35 or more by December 31, 2025 will unlock a $10,000 gift to Tahoe Backcountry Alliance (TBA) in celebration of their 10th anniversary. Donors to the challenge will also receive a TBA membership that corresponds to their gift level. Membership tiers are $35, $150, or $500, and include the following benefits:

  • Every TBA member will receive a 3-month free trial with onX with 20% off an onX annual membership if continued
  • Everyone at the $150+ level will receive an exclusive Flylow x TBA collab hat
  • Core members at the $500+ level receive TBA glass tumblers, a hat and beanie

“The Tahoe Backcountry Alliance does a phenomenal job helping people safely recreate outdoors, especially during the winter months,” said Verdi DiSesa, Tahoe Fund Board Chair. “We want to help make their job even easier. When people donate to help meet the $10,000 match for this fundraising campaign, they’re contributing to an effort that will help improve backcountry access for all.”

As part of their mission, TBA also offers cross-country ski and snowshoe experiences as part of the Washoe Tribe’s Youth Expedition Program, and provides opportunities to borrow sno-park passes and gear for free at libraries throughout El Dorado, Placer and Nevada Counties.

“We are incredibly grateful to the Tahoe Fund for championing our work and investing in preserving and increasing access to human powered backcountry access for everyone,” said Anthony Cupaiuolo, Tahoe Backcountry Alliance Executive Director. “This matching campaign will make a meaningful impact and support the growing community of winter backcountry users.”

TAHOE FUND LAUNCHES “A MILLION FOR THE MARSH” CAMPAIGN TO BRING MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS TO FORMER MOTEL 6 SITE

November 24, 2025 by Caroline Waldman

Now that the former Motel 6 building, restaurant, and parking lot have been demolished from the Upper Truckee Marsh in South Lake Tahoe, planning is underway to bring this wetland back to life. To support the next phase of this project, the Tahoe Fund announced “A Million for the Marsh” campaign to raise the first $1 million of private funds to help secure the public funds the California Tahoe Conservancy will need to revive this area and bring significant improvements to Lake Tahoe’s clarity. 

“California Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot called the acquisition and demolition of this site ‘the most important in a generation to protect Lake Tahoe,’ and we couldn’t agree more,” said Amy Berry, Tahoe Fund CEO. “That’s why we’re launching this campaign—so that our donors can show that taking the next step to restore this marsh matters to our community and to the future health of Lake Tahoe.”

The former Motel 6 property, which included 31 acres total, was acquired in March 2024 by the California Tahoe Conservancy with funding from the Conservancy, the California Wildlife Conservation Board, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Tahoe Fund and the League to Save Lake Tahoe. 

Last year, contributions from dozens of Tahoe Fund donors and major gifts from the Latrobe Foundation and the Robert S & Dorothy J Keyser Foundation brought in over $200,000 to support the demolition of the buildings on site, which was completed by the Department of General Services this fall. 

“This project represents a once-in-a-generation chance to return a developed property to a thriving wetland that will actively protect Lake Tahoe,” said Jason Vasques, executive director of the California Tahoe Conservancy. “Restoring this site will improve water quality, expand wildlife habitat, and help secure the long-term resilience of the lake we all love.”

In addition to restoring the watershed and the native habitat, this project further advances the 2012 Lake Tahoe Regional Plan and Environmental Improvement Program by removing aging development from sensitive land and retiring or transferring development rights to town centers.
Learn more and contribute to the project today at tahoefund.org/millionforthemarsh.
