Rationale
Our Juniper Awards recognize individuals for their commitment, fearlessness, and imagination. The monetary gifts will alleviate financial limitations and enable recipients to engage boldly on their paths. A Juniper tree that grows fearlessly out of granite is able to do so because of its strong roots. Investing in individuals, the roots of our Truckee-Tahoe community, and helping them pursue what they love, reinforces our collective resilience and beauty.
