The Queen of Hearts Women’s Fund is broad based in its funding interests making grants in the following areas of interest:
- Arts, Culture and Public Benefit
- Education and Youth Development
- Environment, Recreation and Animal Welfare
- Health and Human Services
The Women’s Fund is about empowering women to make positive change. We know that collectively, the women of this fund will make a tremendous impact in our community.
We’re successful! The Queen of Hearts Women’s Fund was officially launched in February, 2006. The goal was to identify 1,000 women to give a minimum of $1,000 and raise $1 million dollars within 1 year.
We exceeded this goal, raising $1.3 million; our membership continues to grow. The most appealing benefit of joining the women’s fund is that by giving collectively, we are able to make a bigger difference than any one of us could individually and positively impact Truckee-Tahoe.
Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation connects people and opportunities, generating resources to build a more caring, creative, and effective community.
With a long-term goal of securing discretionary resources from many donors to meet changing community needs, TTCF has been building philanthropy in North Tahoe through its work with donors, nonprofits and communities for more than a decade. Established through the vision of William Hewlett and the commitment of community leaders throughout the region, the Foundation serves thousands of people who share a common passion for the Truckee Tahoe region.
Individuals, families, businesses, and organizations create charitable funds that help meet the challenges of the region. Today, the Foundation’s assets of $15 million are held in stewardship for more than 3,000 donors.
Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation grants impact the life of every full time resident, part time resident, and visitor to our community. We make grants in the areas of:
- Arts and culture
- Education and youth development
- Environment, conservation, and animal welfare
- Health and human services
Since opening our doors in 1998, TTCF has awarded over $10,000,000 in grants and scholarships. The foundation depends on volunteers to help review grants and community members to build the philanthropic resources so vital to this precious region.
