## Resource

Oliver Tree’s family honors his artistic legacy by launching a century-spanning foundation dedicated to funding hands-on creative projects for emerging artists—just as he dreamed. Named Dr. Oliver Tree’s Extremely Epic Art Grant for Baby Geniuses, it supports music, film, installation, and performance art by funding physical production, not education or personal expenses. Established after his tragic helicopter crash in Brazil, the grant fund was created by selling his assets and accepting donations, following his explicit wishes. Applications will soon open, and a memorial service for Tree—known for hits like “Life Goes On” and “Miss You”—will be livestreamed July 25th at UC Santa Cruz. His final album, “Love You Madly Hate You Badly,” continues to resonate as his family ensures his passion for creation lives on.
