LAKE TAHOE — The nonprofit Tahoe Fund has engaged Olive Grove Consulting of Belmont, Calif., to conduct a search for the fund's founding Chief Executive Officer, officials announced Wednesday.

Over the next 10 years, the CEO will be responsible for raising and distributing $50 million to restore and enhance Lake Tahoe, including work on bike trails, restoration projects, interpretive programs, public parks and related projects, according to a press release.

Founded in 2010, Tahoe Fund raises private money to supplement the limited public funding available for such efforts.

“It is with great anticipation that we start this search for a leader who will bring visibility to the organization and help us achieve the ambitious goals we have set,” said Cindy Gustafson, president of the Tahoe Fund board. “A CEO will give us the infrastructure needed to raise funds and complete projects that will benefit current and future generations.”

The CEO will manage and lead all aspects of the Tahoe Fund, a 501(c)(3) corporation.

At the outset, the CEO will be responsible for building the fund's organizational infrastructure along with leading the board in developing the Fund's strategy.

The Tahoe Fund raised more than $600,000 in donations last year and has funded its first three projects in the Tahoe Basin.
