The Tahoe Fund mission is to use the power of philanthropy to improve the Lake Tahoe environment for all to enjoy. It works with partners like the California Tahoe Conservancy and Nevada Division of State Lands to ensure more environmental projects can be completed in the Lake Tahoe Basin.

California Tahoe Conservancy

The California Tahoe Conservancy is a state agency leading California’s efforts to restore Lake Tahoe’s natural and recreational resources. Through grants, projects, and partnerships―along with stewarding 6,500 acres of Conservancy public lands―the agency provides public recreation opportunities, enhances access to the shoreline, restores wetlands and wildlife habitat, improves forest health and reduces the threat of wildfire, makes communities more livable, and helps everyone adapt to climate change.

Coordinated through the Nevada Division of State Lands, the Nevada Lake Tahoe License Plate program generates approximately $450,000 on an annual basis to fund projects at Lake Tahoe. Projects range from water quality initiatives and state park improvements, to research and monitoring studies, invasive species surveys and removal, and public education efforts.
