Tahoe Mountain Resorts Foundation Grants

The Tahoe Mountain Resorts Foundation Grants support community and environmental initiatives in the North Tahoe region. Created by Mountainside Partners, the foundation emphasizes ecological responsibility and community enrichment. Grants are aimed at organizations in Truckee, Donner Summit, and surrounding areas, focusing on projects that yield civic benefits. All proposals must be well-planned and achievable, while avoiding discrimination and lobbying activities. This funding aims to enhance the Sierra lifestyle through education and cultural activities.

The communities of Tahoe Mountain Resorts were created by Mountainside Partners with a commitment to achieving the highest standards of ecological and social responsibility. These year-round resort communities employ environmentally conscious practices rarely applied on such a comprehensive basis in real estate development. The Tahoe Mountain Resorts Foundation (TMRF) was created along with the TMR Environmental Fund and three community specific foundations as a medium to meet and exceed this commitment. The community specific foundations are the Gray’s Crossing Community Foundation, the Old Greenwood Community Foundation and the Northstar Community Foundation.
The Truckee-North Tahoe area is a vibrant community, one that is continually energized by its most valuable natural resource: its people. Tahoe Mountain Resorts Foundation and its associated foundations are dedicated to sustaining and enhancing this lifestyle from an educational, cultural, athletic and community-based perspective, enriching the mind, body and soul of the entire community. By supporting and enhancing what private business and public office cannot, the Foundations cultivate the vital spirit that is the Sierra.
