Truckee chamber creating grant fund

Truckee Chamber of Commerce has created the Truckee Core Values Fund to help support events that reinforce the town’s core values. The fund will be powered by the Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation, with funding provided by the town of Truckee.

The purpose of this fund is to provide grants for events in Truckee that accomplish two things: high local citizen participation, and strong alignment with at least one primary Truckee core value. The values being healthy lifestyle; family friendly; natural beauty; community minded; arts, culture and history.

Unlike past Truckee chamber event grant funds focused on tourism, these grants are available for year-round events as long as they meet the two most important criteria: local engagement and core value alignment.

The process begins by submitting a letter of interest explaining how/why your nonprofit organization would qualify for funding. Letters are being accepted until Nov. 30. For more info, go online.
