Final Housing Study Released
Now available on our website.
Our region faces a spectrum of complex housing issues. To identify these issues and act on effective solutions, TTCF, CCTT, key stakeholders, and community partners recently completed the 2016 Regional Housing Study. This in-depth needs assessment was made possible by the entirety of our community rallying around this important issue. The Final Presentation and Executive Summary are available here.
TTCF and our community stakeholders now turn our eyes towards solutions. To that end we will be presenting to the community highlights from the study and recommendations to move forward. The first presentation takes place at Truckee Town Council August 23rd.

October Board Governance Series is Back
Helping board members increase impact.
Registration will soon be open for the 2016 October Board Governance Series! Look for an email coming soon with details. TTCF strives to strengthen our nonprofit organizations and we believe that engaged, informed board members are an integral part of any organization's success. Last year, we facilitated the first four-part Board Governance Series to a total of 79 individuals representing thirty-four agencies. With 259 years of board service and knowledge between our twelve expert panelists and a rigorous curriculum, the workshop was a great success and nonprofits have been asking for its return ever since. If you are interested in giving back to your community through board leadership, learn more here.
Dates: October 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th

Queen of Hearts Engages Women as Leaders
Initiatives to cultivate leaders.
The August 4th Annual Queen of Hearts Event celebrated ten years worth of accomplishments while looking towards the future. As part of the Women's Fund's goal to inspire and engage women in leadership roles, we revealed two opportunities:
- Inspire and prepare more leaders in our community- Supporters willing to commit to serving a local nonprofit board can fill out an interest form to attend October's Board Governance Series on scholarship.
- Build a more inclusive network of women leaders- Through two generous donors, the next 25 women who join the Fund will unlock a sponsored space for a woman who demonstrates leadership skills and the desire to create positive change in our region. Our Fund supporters can recommend women in our community here.
If you are a supporter or are interested in becoming one, visit www.ttcf.net to learn more.

All Grant Cycles Open for Application
Consolidated grants process now open.
TTCF hosted a series of information sessions for our nonprofits last month to share our new approach to grantmaking. The process streamlines our independent grant applications, as well as 2016 Giving Guide registration, into a single common application. Grant committee representatives use the common application to award dollars from the separate funding sources to the programs and projects that have the greatest community impact. This new process has three benefits:
- Nonprofits spend more time on their missions, less time applying for grants
- An annual snapshot informs TTCF of the progress and needs of our nonprofits
- You still give to the grant cycles and areas of impact you love most knowing that your dollars are being stewarded responsibly
TTCF is proud to continue facilitating grants from the following funds: Queen of Hearts Women's Fund, Open Competitive, Nature Grant Cycle, Tahoe Donner Giving Fund. Learn more.
