Family of Oliver Tree Launches Enduring Artist Grants Foundation

Oliver Tree’s family has launched Dr. Oliver Tree’s Extremely Epic Art Grant for Baby Geniuses to provide grants to artists across music, film, installation, and performance art, honoring the late singer’s wish to funnel his wealth back to artists after death. Grants can fund production and hiring but not education or equipment purchases, and are awarded annually by a committee of Tree collaborators. The fund will be built from selling non-art assets and donations, and a memorial service is planned for July 25 at UC Santa Cruz’s Quarry Amphitheater.

Oliver Tree's Final Wish Forms a Foundation to Fund Artists

Oliver Tree, who died in a June 14 helicopter crash in Rio de Janeiro, left a final wish to establish a foundation—Dr. Oliver Tree’s Extremely Epic Grant For Baby Geniuses—funded by his estate to support artists. The endowment, outlined in his will, is intended to hire people and rent equipment for art projects and cannot be used to enrich his family or fund education; a committee would oversee yearly distributions. Tree’s body has returned to California, and the article notes other identified crash victims. Tree had discussed his wealth’s purpose before his death, emphasizing that the money should benefit art and artists rather than family wealth.
