Tahoe for All
About This Grant
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). The TFA Grant Program is not operated on a rolling basis and has grant application deadlines. Applicants must first submit a Pre-Application (letter of intent) by July 31, 2026, which the Conservancy will review for eligibility and alignment with TFA Program goals. After reviewing Pre-Applications, Conservancy staff will invite applicants to fill out the full application form. Applications are due by September 4, 2026. Conservancy staff will hold an online Technical Assistance Workshop on July 14, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time to answer questions about the TFA Program and the application process. Register for the workshop by following this link: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_n7-q81RxT16PbyFLzvPGHg. Conservancy staff are available to consult with grant applicants prior to, or during, any step in this process.
