Shane McConkey Foundation
The Foundation honors those who inspire positive change in the world and the life of others.
Shane McConkey altered the paths of countless friends, acquaintances and strangers through his accomplishments, generous spirit, laughter and his positive outlook on life. He was an innovator, a goofball, a friend, a husband and a father but his zest for life carried into his deep appreciation for the environment and living creatures.
The goal of the Foundation is twofold: to carry on this legacy through random acts of kindness and charitable giving and to inspire others to make a difference in the world at large.
Thanks to support from people like you, the Shane McConkey Foundation has donated more than $600,000 since its inception in 2011. Each year, we donate to causes that benefit environmental education and directly impact the Tahoe Truckee community. We are proud to share that this Foundation has always been driven by 100 percent volunteer efforts so that every dollar we raise (after basic expenses) goes directly toward noteworthy causes.
