This year the Foundation celebrates our 35th anniversary, and with it we celebrate everyone who has been a part of our 35 year story. All of the donors, community partners, past and current Board members, past and current staff, the nonprofit community, and everyone in between that has contributed, even in the smallest way, to that story. You are a part of who we are, and together we are the Foundation.![]()

Our community, our Club, and those that knew her, have all lost a true champion this week with the passing of Maureen Carter. Her vision of what philanthropy could do for the community she called home has transformed what giving looks like in El Dorado County. ![]()
![]()
Our Club is better because of Maureen. Our County is better because of Maureen. All those that knew her are better because of Maureen. She fought hard over the past year and is now at rest and we ask that you keep Jim, Tiffany, Sarah and all those that loved her, in your prayers, as they navigate the loss of this extraordinary woman.![]()
![]()
We take the lessons we learned from Maureen. To be gracious, to be kind, to be generous, to laugh and to love. We take these lessons with us, and we pledge to carry on the work she believed in. To make our community better in whatever way we can. And as we take the baton from her, we are mindful that while this is incredibly sad and that life isn’t fair, she would want us to push forward and to be the best version of ourselves. And push forward we will, albeit with a new limp created by the loss we feel.![]()
![]()
"You will lose someone you can’t live without, and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp." – Anne Lamott
Today, the El Dorado Community Foundation was honored to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Tahoe Basin Public Safety Training Complex at Lake Tahoe Community College. This exciting investment in our region will help train the next generation of firefighters, EMTs, forestry professionals, and emergency responders through hands-on, real-world learning opportunities.![]()
![]()
As a proud partner in this facility, we are inspired by the collaborative vision behind this project and the long-term impact it will have on regional resilience, workforce development, and public safety throughout the Tahoe Basin and beyond. Congratulations to LTCC and all community partners helping bring this important project to life! 🚒
