The League to Save Lake Tahoe’s plan to redevelop an aging office building into a new environment and education center, as well as the organization’s headquarters, is building momentum. Since the League publicly launched its capital campaign in February of this year, donors have contributed more than $200,000 through gifts large and small.

That expression of generosity and commitment to Keep Tahoe Blue puts the League on track to reach its $1 million fundraising checkpoint by November 2023

The 65-year-old environmental nonprofit’s future home will be the Tahoe Basin’s premiere environmental facility and a hub for collaboration, volunteering and community engagement focused on the League’s mission to Keep Tahoe Blue.

The site will feature an outdoor amphitheater, native plant educational garden, citizen science laboratory, and environmental center open to the public, located at the busy intersection of U.S. Route 50 and Al Tahoe Boulevard in South Lake Tahoe. 

Tahoe enthusiasts are invited to take part in creating the only facility dedicated to protecting the Lake Tahoe Basin. Contributions to the capital campaign can be made at keeptahoeblue.org/new-home.

“We couldn’t be more excited about the project and sharing our vision with the Tahoe community,” said Darcie Goodman Collins, CEO of the League. “As the threats to Lake Tahoe have grown, so has our team and our work. The new building gives us the space and tools we need to do more for the Lake, and to open our doors to everyone who wants to learn about Tahoe and keep it blue.”

The former professional building at 2877 Lake Tahoe Boulevard – the League’s new Tahoe Blue home – has been completely reimagined and is being rebuilt thanks to expertise from Ward | Young Architecture & Planning and Sierra Sustainable Builders, both Tahoe-Truckee area businesses. The property is currently undergoing renovations that will make it South Lake Tahoe’s only LEED-certified office building and a showcase of Lake-friendly urban redevelopment. The League is aiming to move into their new space this fall.

“Our volunteer programs, advocacy work, and citizen science have yet to reach their potential, simply due to lack of space,” noted Goodman Collins. “The new building is an open invitation for locals, visitors, and everyone in between to join us in caring for the Tahoe Basin.”
