Oliver Tree’s team has announced the launch of the Dr. Oliver Tree’s Extremely Epic Art Grant for Baby Geniuses Foundation. The initiative is designed to support young artists through grants for music, film, and performance art projects. According to the foundation’s website, applicants’ projects should reflect “the spirit of the work of Oliver Tree.” Tree, 32, died on June 14 in a fatal helicopter collision near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, that also claimed the lives of five others. Just months before his death, Tree spoke about his plans for his wealth during an appearance on The Zach Sang Show, saying he would donate the money in his will to support future generations of artists. “I’ll get my kids through college, that’s the agreement, but there’s not gonna be a silver spoon,” he said. “All the money is going to go back to artists.” A celebration of the “Life Goes On” singer’s life and a memorial service will be held July 25 at the UCSC Quarry Amphitheater in Santa Cruz, California. The event will also be livestreamed for fans unable to attend in person.
