What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

The Tahoe Prosperity Center is focused on creating a Lake Tahoe where anyone can live, work, play, and thrive. In order to make this beautiful region a truly inclusive community, we are working to establish attainable workforce housing, higher wage and less seasonal job opportunities, reliable and robust internet, and a safe Basin equipped with fire safety cameras - all driven by locally focused, topical community indicators data. We collaborate regionally with local businesses, jurisdictions, non-profits, and community members to advance data-driven initiatives that better the environment, community, and economy for everyone living and working here. As an example of direct community work, we hosted a series of public forums and workshops regarding our Housing Action Plan which was developed with 22 community partners to establish attainable housing in the region.

The Tahoe Prosperity Center is the facilitator of the Housing Tahoe Partnership – a collaborative of key stakeholders in the Lake Tahoe region.

Population(s) Served
Families
Economically disadvantaged people

In 2021, the Tahoe Prosperity Center was selected by the U.S. Economic Development Administration to facilitate a Regional Economic Recovery and Resiliency Strategy for the people of the Tahoe-Truckee Region because of our consistent work with our partners in housing, broadband, and workforce development. We launched Envision Tahoe. This work began with an initial report to analyze “baseline” conditions, followed by a second report that collected and synthesized input from stakeholders throughout the Tahoe community.

In June 2022, the Envision Tahoe effort culminated in the “Prosperity Playbook.” The Playbook lays out a vision the economy our community desires to have in the future: diversified, resilient, and inclusive. Importantly, it creates an opportunity to make progress in many, connected areas through collaboration, measurement and accountability. Now we are focused on community action to achieve a more diversified, resilient and inclusive economy for all.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our entire program of work involves the following key areas:
• AlertTahoe – adding fire prevention cameras to strategic locations around the lake to protect Tahoe's communities from wildfire. (http://tahoeprosperity.org/alerttahoe/)
• Community Revitalization - accelerating environmental redevelopment progress to get rid of the blight harming our environment and to encourage private investment in the region toward more thriving towns. (http://tahoeprosperity.org/community-revitalization/)
• Connected Tahoe – expanding high speed internet and cell coverage in the region. (http://tahoeprosperity.org/connected-tahoe/)
• Measuring for Prosperity – the only consolidated place to find Tahoe-specific community and economic indicator data. (http://tahoeprosperity.org/prosperity/)
• Workforce Tahoe – implementing workforce development strategies that will help improve opportunities for local workers and for businesses to thrive. (http://tahoeprosperity.org/workforcetahoe/)

Our goal is to unite the Tahoe Basin by working collaboratively, across boundaries, with a fresh innovative approach that focuses on accelerating positive change. We involve the community and its leaders when considering economic planning and policy making. We seek balance between environmental protection and environmentally sensitive redevelopment.

Our executive director has expertise in implementation of consensus-based solutions, which make her especially suited to the Tahoe Prosperity Center mission of uniting Tahoe's communities to strengthen regional prosperity. She has more than 25 years experience in public policy, communications and collaboration with non-profit organizations, businesses, academia and government agencies.

Our board of directors represents every government jurisdiction in the Tahoe Basin, local business organizations, non-profit organizations, area colleges and schools as well as other non-profit groups. We have the right people at the table to ensure implementation of our strategies.

We are working to expand high speed internet and cell phone coverage in the region.

We have 11 fire prevention cameras installed as part of AlertTahoe - early detection of fire to prevent loss of life and property in the region.

We updated the Measuring for Prosperity report and will continue to update with the most recent information as we can.

Next up is a Lake Tahoe Recovery and Resiliency plan to help local workers and businesses adapt to the current pandemic climate and improve our economic diversity.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
