What Restoring The Lake Depths Foundation Corp does
Mission
Our mission is to remove as much trash as possible from every navigable freshwater lake in Nevada and California, recording new discoveries along the way. We aim to remove anything that may hinder the clarity of our waters. We begin with Lake Tahoe. Restoring the Lake Depths Foundation is a society of passionate individuals committed to protecting our freshwater lakes. We are prepared to rid the waters of trash using remote underwater vehicles cleaning the lake beds of microplastics and debris from a depth of 25 feet offshore to the bottom of Lake Tahoe at 1640 ft sharing deep water discoveries along the way with our supporters.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
This past summer we were able to pick up over 2 tons of trash/ toxic material from the bottom of Tahoe. We work on the lake 4-5 days a week. This past summer we worked April 30th- November 24th 2025 (days per year are weather dependent). We work remotely during winter on updating our software, fundraising, and finding other areas in need.We are surveying the bottom of Lake Tahoe in an organized grid pattern, beginning at depths of 25 300 feet. The Blue ROV2 can dive down removing plastics and trash to 1,640 feet. We completed a Deep Dive for Tahoe Fund to the bottom of the lake to raise awareness to Tahoes environmental issues as seen on many news broadcasts.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $109k to $218k (+100%).
