The Tahoe Fund is powered by philanthropy—your philanthropy. Your generosity made a
tremendous impact this past fiscal year, which came to a close on March 31, 2024.
Thanks to the unwavering support of our Stewardship Circle members and more than 1,500
donors, we awarded nearly $1.4 million to 50-plus projects, and helped leverage $40 million
in public funds. Together with over 30 partners, we made significant progress on improving
the Lake Tahoe environment for all to enjoy.
In March, we joined forces with a handful of other Tahoe organizations to provide critical
funding for the California Tahoe Conservancy’s acquisition of the Motel 6 property and
surrounding 31 acres within the Upper Truckee River watershed. This made way for what
will become one of the most important restoration projects in Lake Tahoe’s history.
In December, we celebrated the opening of the new sawmill in Carson City, alongside Tahoe
Forest Products and the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California. Through a grant from our
Smartest Forest Fund and support from key public and private partners, we introduced the
Tahoe-Truckee region to BurnBot’s suite of remote-operated tools that will help remove
excess fuel from our forests.
Construction has begun on new parking lots along State Route 28, marking the first step toward
expanding the East Shore Trail. Over the next several years, we will be working with our partners
to design, fund and build more off-highway parking and the next eight miles of path.
These are just some of the game-changing projects that are powered by your philanthropy.
