About Tum Tum Tree Foundation

Tum Tum Tree Foundation’s grantmaking centers on Alabama children facing chronic life-threatening or life-altering conditions, and its recent awards show that focus in repeated support to the same organizations over multiple years. Magic Moments received $225,000 in 2024 and $200,000 in both 2023 and 2025, while the Alabama Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders received $200,000 in 2025 and $160,000 in both 2023 and 2024. That pattern points to a funder that backs ongoing service delivery rather than isolated one-time awards. The foundation’s beneficiaries include children in Alabama with serious medical needs and the organizations that support them. Its recent grants also reach groups working on pediatric comfort, therapy, mobility, vision support, and family-facing assistance, including Mitchell’s Place, The Red Barn Foundation, UAB’s Institute for Arts in Medicine, and Special Equestrians. The result is a portfolio built around direct support for children and the programs around them. The foundation also operates with a tight geographic frame: all listed recent grants go to Alabama recipients. That consistency, along with repeated awards to the same grantees, suggests a locally rooted funding model with sustained relationships in the state’s pediatric care and support network.

The foundation also funds therapeutic and comfort-oriented services. UAB’s Institute for Arts in Medicine received $75,000 in 2025 and $70,000 in 2024, while Special Equestrians received $50,000 in 2025 and $40,000 in 2024. Those grants show attention to art therapy and animal-assisted or equine-supported programming. Support for specialized child-focused organizations appears as well. Mitchell’s Place received $125,000 in 2025 and $110,000 in 2024, and Sight Savers America Inc received $50,000 in 2025 and $50,000 in 2024.
