With your incredible support, Tatum’s Treehouse is inching closer to becoming a reality! However, recent challenges have extended our needs beyond the initial budget.
But there’s great news! Thanks to an anonymous donor, every dollar you contribute will be matched—up to $50,000! This means your generosity will go twice as far in bringing this vision to life.
If you’d like to contribute to this community match, please email us at tatumstreehouse@gmail.com.
Additionally, we invite other local businesses and community members to join in by offering their own challenges. Let’s come together and make Tatum’s Treehouse a shining example of what our community can achieve!
Thank you for your continued support and belief in this project.
The Tatum’s Garden Foundation exists to cultivate accessible, inclusive play.
Our Goal
We are close to our fundraising goal but not quite there yet! Please consider donating on this page!
Special thanks to Spreckels Bakery for their unbelievable support!
