Aligning Regional Philanthropy: Tahoe-Truckee Co-Funders Join Forces for the 2026 Community Grant Cycle

In a small community of roughly 40,000 full-time residents, small and mighty nonprofit organizations are vital players in serving the complex and dynamic needs of Tahoe-Truckee’s people and places. A growing group of grantmakers has come together to align on regional coordination to better serve these nonprofits. Building upon longstanding partnerships with Martis Fund and Tahoe Donner Giving Fund, Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation (TTCF) has set the table to invite others to participate.

This year, Martis Camp Foundation has announced it will join the collective and use the online common application for its community grant cycle. This groundbreaking collaboration seeks to simplify the grant-seeking burden on nonprofits and create opportunities to learn together. Collectively, the funders anticipate distributing more than $2 million in combined grantmaking through the 2026 Regional Grantmaking Cycle.

The online application process is open August 1-August 31, 2026.
