A little magic can make all the difference.
Welcome to Tahoe Magic. South Lake Tahoe is a close knit, mountain community with a diverse population of families working in the visitor and hospitality industry, education and medicine, as well as our small business owners and retired second home owners.
The Tahoe Magic purpose is to work through our referring partners to assist families in critical need with one-time financial crisis assistance.

“28 years of private donations and local grants from our giving and caring community allow us to continue to reach out and help our neighbors when they are in a crisis. Tahoe Magic gives us each a chance to be there for each other.” –Wendy David, Founder & Board Director, Tahoe Magic
Since 1994, Tahoe Magic has responded to thousands of local families who are in financial crisis, providing essential needs such as dental, medical, and housing. The nonprofit organization continues its mission to assist our neighbors and families who are in dire need. It has dispersed hundreds of thousands of dollars across and throughout the South Shore area to these community members.
