Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation Grant Programs

Since its inception in 1996, the Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation and its donors have provided over $22 million in grant awards.  In addition, through its unique model of collaboration, Parasol has provided local organizations with office space, meeting room space and storage space valued at over $4 million.  Saving on overhead costs have allowed these organizations to invest more in programs and services that benefit our community.  See below to learn more about how our grant programs might assist your organization:

AmeriCorps Host Site Grants
The purpose of the Parasol Tahoe Community Foundation AmeriCorps Program is to engage AmeriCorps volunteers in direct service and capacity building to address unmet community needs in the areas of education, public safety, health and the environment.  This program is highly collaborative and brings a wealth of resources to qualified, participating non-profit organizations known as AmeriCorps Host Sites.  AmeriCorps members are assigned to serve at each of these selected Host Sites, providing 1700 of volunteer hours over the grant year, which runs from early September thru August each year.  Selected Host Sites must demonstrate their ability to adequately supervise members, provide them with an enriching service experience as well as have the financial capacity to meet the required funding match.  Our program serves the geographic area of Washoe and Douglas County, Nevada.
