Truckee River Fund Sponsors Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful "Community Clean Up Day"
The Community Foundation works best when we collaborate with nonprofits, funders and volunteers. One of our charitable funds,the Truckee River Fund, granted a significant sponsorship to KTMB and joined other major funders and over 600 volunteers in supporting the Community Clean Up Day on May 2nd to make a record-breaking sweep of garbage and weeds along the River.
KTBM understands that it is vital to deepen the connection each of us feel to the Truckee River in order for us to accept the responsibility to do our part to keep the river clean and flowing.
The purpose of the Truckee River Fund is to fund projects that protect the Truckee's water quality and the watershed. Funding KTMB to help them pull together residents and organizations around taking care of the river is a perfect philanthropic fit.
"Each spring, this event motivates volunteers from all over Reno and Sparks to get out and make a powerful difference together. The Truckee River Fund and the Community Foundation of Western Nevada look for projects that actively engage residents to work for solutions to our community's issues and that pull together diverse organizations to accomplish a common goal of protecting our watershed." Sue Donaldson, Truckee River Fund advisory board member
