LAKE TAHOE, Calif. and Nev. – November 17, 2015 – The Tahoe Fund is launching a new project submission process for environmental organizations that would like to partner with the Tahoe Fund to restore lake clarity, improve outdoor recreation and inspire stewardship of the Tahoe Basin. Organizations are invited to submit project ideas at http://www.tahoefund.org/our-
“We have simplified the process to make it much easier for organizations to share projects with us,” said Tahoe Fund Projects Committee Co-Chair, Jim Lawrence. “We look forward to receiving project ideas that will have a meaningful impact and inspire our private donors.”
Since 2010, the Tahoe Fund has raised funds from private donors for 15 environmental improvement projects including new bike paths, watershed restorations, removal of aquatic invasive species and environmental stewardship programs. The Tahoe Fund’s biggest project to date is the Incline to Sand Harbor Bike Path that is still open for donations.
Eligible projects must be able to demonstrate that all environmental permits will be obtained, enjoy strong community support, and have other sources of funding identified. Further details can be found at http://www.tahoefund.org/our-
Projects should be consistent with the program level priorities established as part of the 2008-2018 Environmental Improvement Update. With the notable exception of education/interpretation projects, the Fund will generally not include funding requests for planning, design, or other pre-construction activities, or for maintenance and monitoring of projects in its portfolios.
