What they do
The Lake Tahoe Secret Witness Program is A Non-profit Organization Created to Be The Extra Eyes and Ears In Our Community to Help Law Enforcement With Put A Stop to On-going Criminal Activity. It Was Developed As The Result of The Senseless Killing of A Local Teenage During An Armed Robbery Back In The Early 80s At A Local Gas Station. This Program Allows Concerned Citizens to Call A Local Number and Anonymously Leave Information That Could Possibly Result In The Arrest and Conviction of The Perpetrators Committing These Crimes. The Caller is Given A Code Number. If There is An Arrest and Conviction for A Crime That is Reported, The Person That Called Would Be Able to Receive A Monetary Award Up to $2500.00. The Distribution of These Funds is Dictated On What Type of Crime is Committed, If The Caller Presents His/her Secret Code Number and If There is An Arrest and Conviction. There is No Timetable As This Program Will Continue As Long As There Are Funds Available.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
