Case Study: Tahoe Fund achieves a 10-year strategic roadmap to scale impact for Lake Tahoe with OnStrategy

Defining an Ambitious Strategic Direction to Preserve and Protect the Shores of Lake Tahoe

Tahoe Fund, a decade-old nonprofit dedicated to protecting Lake Tahoe, faced the challenge of exponentially increasing its impact through 2030 while avoiding mission creep and disorganization. To answer “Where and what do we need to become?” Tahoe Fund engaged OnStrategy and its Chief Strategy Officers to lead a focused strategic planning effort that would align the board, staff, and community around a clear future direction.

OnStrategy conducted a board input survey of 30 members, guided the Strategic Planning Committee, and facilitated a retreat, producing a 10-year strategic plan and roadmap, a one-page plan, a living implementation system, and a community rollout. The work secured board alignment, clarified roles for staff and stakeholders, defined organizational design (including the capacity to scale and a path to double staff resources), and moved Tahoe Fund from broad discussion to a measurable, actionable plan to increase impact.
