TRUCKEE, Calif. – The Lahontan Community Foundation recently awarded 25 local non-prof-its grants totaling $247,319. Over the course of two decades, the LCF has granted more than $2.8 million to Truckee-North Lake Tahoe non-profits and organizations. The Lahontan community comes together for two major fundraisers each year to raise funds and show support for the local community.

The largest awards went to non-profits providing health and human services ($120,295), followed closely by education and youth development ($73,100), arts, cul-ture and civic life ($30,924) and environment, recreation and animal welfare ($23,000.) These grants will help to ensure that seniors have food security, kids are mentored and tutored, mental health services continue, trails are maintained, veterinary services are provided, the disabled have medical services and activities, and children have access to music and the outdoors.
