Most likely you’ve heard about the National Day of Giving coming up on Tuesday, May 6. But what is it? Hundreds of community foundations across the country have joined in a 24-hour giving challenge through a national campaign called the National Day of Giving. Named “Give Where You Live,” and designed exclusively for our own community, this virtual event showcases El Dorado County nonprofits and gives you the opportunity to support them by funding specific needs.
According to the EL Dorado County Community Foundation, the local non-profits that are involved in the May 6 event are Tahoe Youth & Family Services, Boys & Girls Club of Lake Tahoe, Barton Foundation, CALSTAR, CASA, Tahoe Arts Project, League to Save Lake Tahoe, Sugar Pine Foundation, Bread & Broth, Live Violence Free and the South Lake Tahoe Family Resource Center.
Other groups that operate in the county and serve parts of the lake include the Rubicon Trail Foundation and Friends of El Dorado Trails. See a complete list of SLT charities in the program.
The many groups that serve South Lake Tahoe depend on donations to be able to provide the services they do. Give Where You Live allows people to donate to local groups so your funds are used in your community.
