LEARN MORE ABOUT THE 2024-2025 TAHOE DONNER GIVING SEASON CAMPAIGN!
Give From the Heart: Tahoe Donner’s Giving Season
Donate from Dec. 2 to March 1, 2025!
🎁 This holiday season, give yourself the gift of knowing you’re making our cherished community stronger and more resilient in countless ways.
🎁 Your donation to the Tahoe Donner Giving Fund gives the gift of education through scholarships for local high school graduates, and the gift of hope and help through grants for local nonprofits.
This year, we invite you to join us in making the season brighter right here where we live, work, and play.
YOUR DONATION, PRICELESS GIFTS
❤️ The gift of education — through scholarships for local high school graduates, often the first in their family to attend college, who are facing the rising costs of higher education.
❤️ The gift of hope and help — through grants for local nonprofits, to help individuals facing tough times and assist organizations working for important causes.
This holiday season, giving back and doing good have never been more important. Challenges to gaining a competitive education are increasing, and providing the services unique to nonprofit missions grows more difficult with each passing year.
Your support makes a meaningful difference. By giving together and pooling our donations through the Tahoe Donner Giving Fund, we can continue making dreams come true for local students who depend on our scholarships, and for the people and causes who depend on our local nonprofit grants.

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.
The Tahoe Donner Giving Fund Committee is chartered by the Tahoe Donner Association Board of Directors to administer the Giving Fund, which is an affiliate fund of the 501(c)(3) nonprofit Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation, EIN 68-0416404. All contributions are voluntary and are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
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.
