About Tall Trees Foundation

Tall Trees Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that was formed to support the employees and families of Palo Alto Hills Golf & Country Club during times of sudden financial need. The foundation operates a donor-funded grants program that covers qualifying emergency expenses (medical, funeral, major repairs, housing emergencies and select educational needs) and maintains public grant criteria and application materials on its website.

The foundation is governed by a volunteer member-led board and raises funds through member-supported events and auctions, including an annual Doug Campbell Memorial Golf Tournament and silent auction. Tall Trees publishes an annual report and files IRS Form 990s; recent filings report measurable fundraising and net asset balances (most recent full-year figures are for 2023).
