Our Funding Priorities

Here at Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful (KTMB), is dedicated to creating a more sustainable and beautiful region through waste reduction, education, and active community involvement.

Our current funding priorities are:

1. Education – We add educational information to our cleanup events so volunteers see the community impact of the work they are doing and understand it. We all know why litter is important to pick up, but helping people understand the impact to our water supply, or the impact of invasive weeds on our native species help people connect their volunteering to the overall health of our community.

2. Cleanups – harnessing the power of our dedicated community volunteers to remove litter and work on beautification projects around the Truckee Meadows.

3. Prevention – KTMB is dedicated to helping prevent the root causes of these environmental issues in our community. Through programs like Christmas Tree Recycling and the Illegal Dumping Task Force we are able to make changes to protect our region for future generations.

Contact Darcy Phillips at darcy@ktmb.org to talk more about these funding priorities and how to support them.
