Giving Fund

The Tahoe Donner Giving Fund was created in 2014 by the Tahoe Donner Association Board of Directors with the mission to inspire generosity and charitable giving among Tahoe Donner members in order to support deserving programs and youth in the greater Truckee community.

Thanks to the generosity of Tahoe Donner members, Tahoe Donner Giving Fund grants and scholarships are made through the Giving Fund Committee’s participation in the Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation’s annual review process, which awards scholarships in the spring and nonprofit grants in the fall. Member contributions to the Tahoe Donner Giving Fund help those in need, support our youth, protect special places, and make our community a better place for all of us.

Founding Partner

We are very grateful to Jaime Waltman Legare of Elements Mountain Co. for her support from the inception of the Giving Fund. As our Founding Partner, Elements donates $1 for each of their snow removal clients, totaling over $4,000 annually, to cover all our operating expenses thus making 100% of your contributions available for grants and scholarships.

Thank you.
