Tahoe for All Grants

The Tahoe for All Grant Program, initiated by the California Tahoe Conservancy, aims to enhance outdoor access for historically underserved communities. By addressing barriers—economic, social, physical, and cultural—the program provides funding for projects that create inclusive outdoor experiences in the Tahoe Basin. It seeks to ensure equitable access to recreational opportunities, fostering a more diverse and engaged community in one of California's premier natural destinations.

Purpose
The Tahoe for All Grant Program (TFA Program) is the Conservancy's Outdoors for All Grant opportunity. The Goal of the TFA Program is to support programs and projects that provide positive and inclusive outdoor experiences for historically underserved and excluded communities by providing grants for programs and projects that address economic, physical, social, cultural, or other barriers to accessing outdoor experiences in Tahoe.
Description
Although Lake Tahoe is a world-class outdoor recreation destination, many people face barriers to accessing and enjoying its recreational opportunities. In California and nationwide, outdoor access and its benefits are not equitably available to all communities. Through the TFA Program, the Conservancy aims to increase access to Lake Tahoe and surrounding lands for historically underserved and excluded communities by providing grants for programs and projects that address economic, physical, social, cultural, or other barriers to accessing the Basin.   Eligible projects/programs must show that the applicant will:  Increase access by reducing economic, social, physical, cultural, or other barriers to visiting and experiencing the Basin;  Provide or enhance recreational or educational outdoor experiences in the Basin;  Implement the program or project within the California side of the Basin (the Conservancy’s Jurisdiction).
