The Tahoe Donner Giving Fund was created in 2014 by the Tahoe Donner Association board to pool donations from homeowners to support the good work of local non-profits and provide deserving graduating high school students with scholarships to advance their education. Each year, working as an affiliate fund of the Truckee Tahoe Community Foundation [EIN 68-0416404], we provide funding to help those in need, support our youth, protect special places, and make our lives better.
