Introduction
While sometimes Tahoe Truckee can seem geographically isolated, what we do here matters to the rest of California and the world. When we prioritize our forests and watersheds and shift away from depleting nature, we safeguard California’s environmental future. When we create and share frameworks like the Mountain Housing Council and the Behavioral Health Roadmap, we provide blueprints and tools for other communities to set aside individual agendas to make a measurable collective impact that benefits people for generations.
I was reminded of this in September. Some of our team members attended the League of California Community Foundations’ 30th-anniversary celebration. There, passionate community foundation leaders exchanged ideas, strategies, and toolkits. TTCF was honored to be asked to present our work in two presentations. Saché Cantu, Chief Operating Officer, led a lively, interactive session about TTCF’s ten years of impact investing and helped other community foundations see themselves in this work. In a presentation about the Future of Philanthropy, I shared how TTCF’s strategic plan guides our impact strategy and how we help donors accomplish their philanthropic visions. We walked away reinvigorated and with fresh perspectives about the work we do.
We cannot control what happens in this vast and complex world, but we can focus on what is directly in front of us: our community and this place we all love so much. We hope you enjoy this Impact Report and find within it a way to engage more deeply in our work. Please consider giving to one of our programs, campaigns, or initiatives.
Ever forward,
Stacy Caldwell, CFRE

TTCF Events
Gathering with our Community
In September, we gathered an intimate group of TTCF’s Legacy Society, Fundholders, Past Board, and trusted partners for an evening in the mountains. The event celebrated the collective impact that is possible when we all work together. We are so grateful to work together in service of this region. Check out our upcoming calendar and join us for a salon, training, or the Give Back Tahoe Giving Season!
