Meet Our New Nonprofit: Little Bird Alliance

Published: January 1st, 2026 by ECO-CLEAN Solutions

Introducing Little Bird Alliance

Meet Little Bird Alliance, a new nonprofit created by the team behind ECO-CLEAN Solutions. It was born from our commitment to protect the places we love and to build a more resilient future, one project at a time.

Little Bird Alliance champions small, but powerful efforts that restore environments and uplift communities. The name reflects what we believe to be true: even the smallest actions, when done with heart and purpose, can create meaningful and lasting impact.

Whether it’s cleaning a shoreline, restoring a trail, or supporting local environmental education, every project reminds us that real change starts with small steps forward.

Why We Started Little Bird Alliance

We launched Little Bird Alliance to meet the moment. Environmental challenges across the Tahoe Basin are growing, and securing reliable funding is getting harder each year. As partner resources shift and grant programs evolve, we saw a need for a new path forward.

Little Bird Alliance provides the nonprofit structure needed to apply for broader environmental grants, build new partnerships, and increase community involvement. It gives us the flexibility to continue the work we’ve started and grow it in the years ahead.

The Future of ECO-CLEAN Solutions

ECO-CLEAN Solutions will continue its mission under the umbrella of Little Bird Alliance, with stronger tools to deliver long-term shoreline stewardship.

As a registered 501(c)(3), the Alliance can access public and private grant funding, offer tax-deductible donation options, and create a more sustainable model for how we clean our beaches. 

The need for beach cleaning and shoreline stewardship in Lake Tahoe and surrounding lakes is needed more than ever. With increased grant access, we can expand our cleanups across more beaches, especially those that are most impacted on busy holiday weekends.

Looking Ahead to 2026

As we wrap up another incredibly impactful year, we’re excited about what’s coming next. Behind the scenes, we’re actively applying for grants, building new partnerships, and laying the groundwork for projects that will launch in 2026. 

This is just the beginning. Our vision is clear, when projects are rooted in heart and purpose, small steps really can make a big difference. Stay tuned for updates and opportunities to get involved!
