What is a Community Foundation
A Bank That Gives Back
A community foundation fills the gaps within its region that are not met by the commercial business or
public government sectors In fact the dollars we collect and steward are an investment into the futureof our region Reserved philanthropic dollars help ensure that our community needs can be addresse
in the future With strong ties to our local nonprofits the Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation
guides current and future philanthropic dollars and charitable endeavors to where theyrsquore most
needed
Acting as a philanthropic bank our ldquocustomersrdquo are donors and their various types of ldquoaccountsrdquo are
represented in the specific funds that accomplish their philanthropic goals mdash whether their passions
are protecting our forests saving animals or helping fellow citizens The Tahoe Truckee Community
Foundation maintains over 120 different funds and offers donor advised memorial scholarship and
organizational funds as avenues for individuals families businesses and nonprofit organizations tocontribute to our community After sixteen years of positive impact we are also familiar with unique
opportunities to give back including if your legacy is donating your treasured herd of cattle
The Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation connects people and opportunities generating resources
to build a more caring creative and effective community
How to pick to whichnonprofit to donate
Sometimes it is hard to pick which nonprofit to support Especially if
you donrsquot live in the community and are not familiar with the different
organizations Gifts for Good allows you to give your dollars to one of
the seven areas of focus and they will be applied to the Tahoe Truckee
Community Foundationrsquos open competitive grant cycle
Each year we call for proposals and convene community members to help us select the nonprofits with
the greatest need and impact in the categories you love Your dollars will leverage other donor dollar
and help stretch the dollars further for the nonprofits in our community
We invite you to give to your favorite nonprofit but if you donrsquot have a favorite we invite you to give
to Gifts for Good and help give back to Tahoe

What is a Community Foundation
A Bank That Gives Back
A community foundation fills the gaps within its region that are not met by the commercial business or
public government sectors In fact the dollars we collect and steward are an investment into the futureof our region Reserved philanthropic dollars help ensure that our community needs can be addresse
in the future With strong ties to our local nonprofits the Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation
guides current and future philanthropic dollars and charitable endeavors to where theyrsquore most
needed
Acting as a philanthropic bank our ldquocustomersrdquo are donors and their various types of ldquoaccountsrdquo are
represented in the specific funds that accomplish their philanthropic goals mdash whether their passions
are protecting our forests saving animals or helping fellow citizens The Tahoe Truckee Community
Foundation maintains over 120 different funds and offers donor advised memorial scholarship and
organizational funds as avenues for individuals families businesses and nonprofit organizations tocontribute to our community After sixteen years of positive impact we are also familiar with unique
opportunities to give back including if your legacy is donating your treasured herd of cattle
The Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation connects people and opportunities generating resources
to build a more caring creative and effective community
How to pick to whichnonprofit to donate
Sometimes it is hard to pick which nonprofit to support Especially if
you donrsquot live in the community and are not familiar with the different
organizations Gifts for Good allows you to give your dollars to one of
the seven areas of focus and they will be applied to the Tahoe Truckee
Community Foundationrsquos open competitive grant cycle
Each year we call for proposals and convene community members to help us select the nonprofits with
the greatest need and impact in the categories you love Your dollars will leverage other donor dollar
and help stretch the dollars further for the nonprofits in our community
We invite you to give to your favorite nonprofit but if you donrsquot have a favorite we invite you to give
to Gifts for Good and help give back to Tahoe

What is a Community Foundation
A Bank That Gives Back
A community foundation fills the gaps within its region that are not met by the commercial business or
public government sectors In fact the dollars we collect and steward are an investment into the futureof our region Reserved philanthropic dollars help ensure that our community needs can be addresse
in the future With strong ties to our local nonprofits the Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation
guides current and future philanthropic dollars and charitable endeavors to where theyrsquore most
needed
Acting as a philanthropic bank our ldquocustomersrdquo are donors and their various types of ldquoaccountsrdquo are
represented in the specific funds that accomplish their philanthropic goals mdash whether their passions
are protecting our forests saving animals or helping fellow citizens The Tahoe Truckee Community
Foundation maintains over 120 different funds and offers donor advised memorial scholarship and
organizational funds as avenues for individuals families businesses and nonprofit organizations tocontribute to our community After sixteen years of positive impact we are also familiar with unique
opportunities to give back including if your legacy is donating your treasured herd of cattle
The Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation connects people and opportunities generating resources
to build a more caring creative and effective community
How to pick to whichnonprofit to donate
Sometimes it is hard to pick which nonprofit to support Especially if
you donrsquot live in the community and are not familiar with the different
organizations Gifts for Good allows you to give your dollars to one of
the seven areas of focus and they will be applied to the Tahoe Truckee
Community Foundationrsquos open competitive grant cycle
Each year we call for proposals and convene community members to help us select the nonprofits with
the greatest need and impact in the categories you love Your dollars will leverage other donor dollar
and help stretch the dollars further for the nonprofits in our community
We invite you to give to your favorite nonprofit but if you donrsquot have a favorite we invite you to give
to Gifts for Good and help give back to Tahoe
