Boosting Hope Committee
Greater Lake Tahoe Basin

Mission Statement
Boosting Hope is a non-profit organization on a mission to enrich communities, one community member at a time. We strive to weave together the complexities of community by leveraging community members that “have” and pairing them with those that do not. Our members provide economic support, mentorship and a reminder that “Together, we strengthen our community, do good and boost hope for all”.
