About

Tahoe Blue Business Program

One way or another, everyone is here because of the Lake. It takes a lot of work to keep Tahoe beachable, bikeable, hikeable, boatable, skiable, and enjoyable for all.  In fact, it takes the whole community to Keep Tahoe Blue, which is why we’ve created our Blue Business program to partner with values-aligned businesses throughout the Tahoe Basin and beyond.

Our Blue Businesses are leaders in the community who understand that what’s best for Lake Tahoe is also what’s best for their business, their employees, and their neighbors. Our partners walk the talk, and we’re delighted to highlight their hard work using our globally recognized brand.

By working hand in hand with our business partners, we multiply our impact to protect Lake Tahoe now and for many generations to come. No matter where you are in your business journey, we’re excited for you to join us.

Our Values

At the League to Save Lake Tahoe, we do things differently. The goal of the Blue Business program is to bring businesses and the environmental community together utilizing trust, reciprocity, and relationship building with the common goal to Keep Tahoe Blue for all. To accomplish this, we rooted this program in the following values:
  • Diversity

    We uplift businesses and communities that have been traditionally excluded in the conservation and outdoor nonprofit sectors.  

  • Equity

    Every business, no matter their size or budget, has the potential to be a top tier partner. Businesses feel heard and included in lake-saving solutions.   

  • Inclusion

    Businesses of all shapes, sizes, and industries can engage with and benefit from working with us.  

  • Accessibility

    Since each business is different, how they help will be different, too. To lower the barriers to access, we provide a variety of ways to get involved that are beneficial to both the League and the business.

Our Tahoe Blue Business Program highlights four categories that inform businesses how they can most effectively Keep Tahoe Blue: Share Blue, Join Blue, Be Blue, and Support Blue. Our top tier partners engage with us in all four categories.
There are many ways to contribute to the Keep Tahoe Blue mission within these categories. Our partnership program was created with flexibility in mind to ensure a mutually beneficial and worthwhile partnership. Since each business is different, the ways they help will be different, too. We are excited to create a symbiotic partnership based on your business’s unique strengths and goals.
