Organize annual golf and culinary events to raise funds for local charities and high school athletics in the communities served.
Ghost Tree Invitational Ltd uses annual golf and culinary events to channel support into local charities and high school athletics in the communities where it operates. In the recent grant record, that event-based model is visible in awards to organizations serving medical care, youth programming, and family support, including University Medical Center in Las Vegas and Casa of Jackson County in Medford. The foundation’s giving is not limited to one type of nonprofit; its stated focus areas include youth services, health and medical support, community services, and education, with grants described as general support. Several of the largest recent awards went to Oregon and Nevada recipients, reflecting a regional pattern tied to specific event communities. The organization also invites charities to submit themselves or be nominated for consideration as beneficiaries of event proceeds, which helps explain why its recipients are local and place-based rather than national. Recent grants to The Center Foundation and Boys & Girls Club of Bend show that its support extends beyond health charities into youth-serving community organizations.
Health and medical support appears prominently in the recent record. Ghost Tree Invitational Ltd gave $19,000 to University Medical Center in Las Vegas for general support, and also provided $11,400 to Asante Foundation in Medford for the same purpose. Youth-serving organizations are another clear theme: Boys & Girls Club of Bend received $9,200 in 2024 and $9,000 in 2023, both as general support. Education and athletics also show up through a $9,000 grant to La Pine High School Athletic Dptmt. Community and family services are part of the mix as well, with support going to Casa of Jackson County in Medford across two years. The pattern points to flexible operating support for local nonprofits rather than narrow project-specific funding.
Typical grants cluster in the low five figures, with a p25 of $9,000, a median of $11,200, and a p75 of $16,500. The recent list also shows repeat support to the same organizations across years, including Casa of Jackson County, Asante Foundation, University Medical Center, and Boys & Girls Club of Bend, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than isolated gifts. The foundation’s total annual giving was $157,900 against total assets of $41,132 in the latest 990 year on file. Its structure is event-driven, with support generated through annual local events and distributed as general, flexible support. Charities can be nominated or submit themselves for consideration.
