TTCF fosters resilience for the people and places of Tahoe Truckee. Our core mission is North Lake Tahoe – Truckee. Yet, the issues and opportunities we face are not constrained by geographic boundaries. Communities are interconnected by people who care and the places they love. In this work, we align with communities around the world, hoping to build solutions together. We are so grateful that you are here with us. Let’s look at the impact we’ve made together.

Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation (TTCF) and Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) have launched a new regional housing survey as part of an updated assessment of housing needs in the greater Lake Tahoe Region. Partners request feedback from those who live and work in the region.
Restoring health to Sierra forests is a big job. This salon highlights what kinds of careers are available in a growing forest economy – from fire mitigation to forestry to making wood and biomass into innovative products. Our speakers discuss not only emerging career pathways, but also what forest-based work could mean for a diversified and resilient local economy. For those looking to call the forest their office, those interested in supporting the workforce of tomorrow, or those who want to explore economic pathways towards a stronger Tahoe Truckee – join us in a conversation about win-win solutions for local jobs and our forests.
Speakers: Courtney Cagle, Foundation for California Community Colleges | Kristin York, Sierra Business Council | Lydell Wyatt, Washoe Tribe of CA / NV | Melissa Mohler, Sierra Watershed Education Partnerships
Often, when learning about some of the toughest challenges that our community faces…housing, forest management, and sufficient support for our families, we hear the term “it doesn’t pencil.”
That is where philanthropy plays a role. By securing flexible, nimble funds from the generosity of our donors, TTCF structures new ways for solutions to become a reality. Our grantmaking and impact investing can be catalytic and regenerative when we take early stage risk or inspire other funding to the table.
TTCF has a legacy of projects that support these kinds of solutions for our community. Our Impact Portfolio works across a spectrum of solutions that focus on our people and place. Thank you for joining us in this important work.
