The South Lake Tahoe Endowment, which operates under the umbrella of the El Dorado Community Foundation, is accepting grant applications.

In 2015, the South Lake Tahoe Endowment cabinet made the decision to open the process to the entire nonprofit community. Some much-needed services were made possible as a result of that grant cycle, including the opening of the warm room in winter 2015-16.

Requests for proposals will be accepted from all nonprofits located in the Lake Tahoe basin that offer programs or services to the residents of South Lake Tahoe, including enhanced educational experiences for youth from local schools.

Application forms are interactive online forms with separate applications for school grant application (up to $1,000) and community grant application ($5,000 maximum). The deadline to apply is Oct. 15 at 5pm.
