Tahoe for All Grants | Tahoe Conservancy Tahoe Conservancy Grants main page Applying for a Tahoe for All Grant Application Guidance and Documents Tahoe for All supports programs and projects that provide positive and inclusive outdoor experiences for communities that face barriers to accessing outdoor recreation opportunities and infrastructure in the Lake Tahoe Basin.

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 Tahoe for All, the California Tahoe Conservancy seeks to increase access to Lake Tahoe and surrounding forests for historically underserved and excluded people and communities by providing grants for programs and projects that address economic, physical, social, cultural, or other barriers to accessing the Basin.
