Introduction
Dear Friends,
This quarter reflects a community that responded to growing needs with generosity, creativity, and resolve. Across Tahoe-Truckee, collective giving reached record levels, and partners came together to strengthen families, steward forests, and advance compassionate housing solutions. In a time of uncertainty, these efforts show what is possible when people align around shared values and act with intention for the place they love.
At the heart of this giving are individuals and organizations, from book clubs to mountain ski resorts, engaging civically in ways that benefit our community. Their actions—personal and collective—demonstrate that lasting change grows from both character and collaboration.
Now is a moment to turn generosity into enduring impact. AT TTCF, we provide so many ways to give back to the place that you love. When philanthropy is guided by purpose and partnership, every dollar goes further—and helps shape a resilient future for Tahoe-Truckee. With the changes in tax law, many of you can stretch your giving! Learn more here.
From all walks of life, you show up for Tahoe Truckee—working together, even when it’s hard, to create a shared vision for our community. We are honored to walk beside you.
Ever Forward,
Stacy Caldwell, CFRE
Chief Executive Officer
