2020 has been a turbulent, difficult year for so many, including local nonprofits who have had to alter the way they raise money and get their messages out to the public.
If you want to give back to the Lake Tahoe community this giving season, several nonprofits need donations or volunteers.

Tahoe never ceases to amaze me. From my earliest memories water skiing on a mirror-like morning lake to this December’s breathtaking sunsets, this place continues to impress.
After being born and raised in South Lake, then venturing outside the basin for my early career, the lake called me back in 2012. I returned to take a position as the CEO of the League to Save Lake Tahoe, an organization where I interned in high school (with embarrassing 90s photographs to prove it).
It wasn’t just the job or the basin’s natural beauty that brought me home; it’s this community. It’s the people that make Tahoe a truly special place. A place that always draws you back. A place worth working for.
