Tahoe Fund looking for project ideas

Tahoe Fund is looking to fund projects that help solve the environmental challenges facing Lake Tahoe. 

Submit project ideas online by Jan. 31.

Projects should improve Lake Tahoe’s environment, reduce the risk of wildfire, and address climate change by enhancing water quality, restoring watersheds, creating healthier forests, improving transportation and fostering outdoor recreation. 

Since 2010, the Tahoe Fund has raised funds from private donors for more than 25 environmental improvement projects including new bike paths, watershed restorations, removal of aquatic invasive species and environmental stewardship programs.

Eligible projects must be able to demonstrate how any necessary environmental permits will be obtained, enjoy strong community support, and have other sources of funding identified.
