Who we are

The Lift Truckee Foundation (501c3 nonprofit) envisions a prosperous, resilient mountain community where people live, work, and create with purpose, sustainability, and belonging.

We foster creativity, community-driven solutions, and entrepreneurial spirit—building sustainable, connected places where individuals and ideas can grow, prosper, and make a lasting impact.

We support nonprofits & social enterprises, entrepreneurs, students, rising stars, and the community through scholarships and events.

Lift Truckee is an evolution from Tahoe Silicon Mountain, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting education, innovation and entrepreneurship. We are based at the Lift Workspace, a cowork, conference, and wellness center at the Truckee Tahoe Airport.
