Staff report

Tahoe SAFE Alliance was recently awarded an $8,660 grant from the Lahontan Community Foundation Fund, which is held at the Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation, to support the nonprofit’s Children’s Program and improve on its capacity.

The Lahontan Community Foundation Fund was founded in 2002. Its mission is to “bring the Lahontan community together, to have fun and raise as much money as possible to support the educational goals of Lahontan employees and the good works of local non-profit organizations making a difference in the Truckee-North Tahoe region.”

As a whole, the nonprofit offers an array of services for children affected by abuse, including therapy, advocacy and therapeutic outings. Visit tahoesafealliance.org to learn more.
