TTCF Awarded Nonprofit of the Year by Truckee Chamber of Commerce!
Celebrating all of us.
Truckee Chamber of Commerce hosted a fantastic event celebrating the people, businesses, and organizations that make our community such a great place to live and visit. TTCF was honored to accept the award for Nonprofit of the Year. Still none of the work we do is possible without the support of our community, partners, donors, and past and present board members. We are honored to accept this award on behalf of all of the people who stop into our offices, who partner and collaborate with us, who invite us to share our stories and work, who volunteer to speak on panels or serve on committees, and to all of you whose donations and support allow us to offer more comprehensive services to our nonprofits. Thank you for making us Nonprofit of the Year.

Over 40 Grants Awarded in Inaugural Consolidated Grant Cycle.
Building a stronger social sector.
To better serve our nonprofits and community members, TTCF streamlined our previously separate funding streams into one grant cycle. Our volunteer grant committee once again made some of the toughest decisions in our work, but we are happy to say that our grant cycle was a success. Deliverables included:
- Increased funding from Queen of Hearts, Tahoe Donner Giving Fund, and a generous $100,000 match from Martis Fund for our largest Nature Grant Cycle to date!
- A single, simplified common application.
- 28 mission-driven� grants to nonprofits with proven track records for more than $150,000 in crucial, but difficult to find, unrestricted funding.
- Matching projects with multiple funding streams.
- An overall snapshot of the health and trends of our local nonprofit community to inform the many ways we serve our nonprofits beyond the grants.

Unlike-Minded People Will Change the World.
A perspective on effective community engagement.
In 2012, Google assembled a research team in order to decipher the formula for successful teams. Project Aristotle, composed of researchers, statisticians, engineers, sociologists, and psychologists, discovered that it is not the sum total of the best and brightest individuals that equates to success. Instead, it is unlike-minded people with different experiences and expertise that are most equipped to answer life's most challenging tasks- they just have to work together and get along. But how do so many different people reach a common ground?
