Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation
Tahoe Donner Giving Fund is an affiliate fund of the Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation (TTCF), which connects people and opportunities, generating resources to build a more caring, creative, and effective community. TTCF is the center for philanthropy in Truckee/Tahoe area.
TTCF has been building philanthropy in North Tahoe through its work with donors, non-profits and communities for more than a decade. Established through the vision of William Hewlett and the commitment of community leaders, the Foundation serves thousands who share a common passion for the Truckee/Tahoe region.

Today, the Foundation’s assets of $25 million are held in stewardship for more than 3,000 donors.
