ABOUT THE FOUNDATION

Small Grants, Large Goals

Garett Patrick Talve Hill was 29 years, 3 months, and 4 days old when he died suddenly and unexpectedly in May 2021. He was just at the beginning of his life of service, as an attorney in Los Angeles, with big dreams of how he would make the world a better place. This foundation is his legacy, and it is our goal to invest in projects that exemplify Garett's vision for goodness -- to improve the lives of children around the world.

WHAT WE FIGHT FOR

Helping to Make the World a Better Place  

The Garett Hill for Goodness Foundation is a fully licensed and accredited 501(c)(3) charitable organization (EIN #: 87-1748978), that was formed shortly after Garett’s passing.

 

Its mission is to provide seed funding through small grants that will encourage grass roots efforts to improve the lives of children around the world.

 

In its first 3 years, GHFG has donated over $60,000 to 15 programs that help provide clean drinking water, try to prevent gun violence, prevent child food insecurity and hunger, benefit Claremont youth sports programs and some Santa Barbara charities that G was supportive of.  Some of these charities we donated to in 2024 include: 

 

  • California Food Bank Association 

  • No Kid Hungry California
  • LA Food Bank
  • Santa Barbara Bowl Foundation's Musical Instruments for Kids
  • UC Santa Barbara radio station KCSB sports department
  • UCSB Music program

Help us learn about projects you know of that deserve our support. We'd love to hear your ideas of how we can help make Garett's dream a reality and bring more goodness to the world.

WHAT WE DO

Bringing Hope One Project at a Time

Home: Our Causes

IMPROVING LIVES

One of our goals is to directly or indirectly improve the lives of people, especially children, around the world. Whether it is supporting reliable clean water supplies in developing countries or providing playground or sports equipment in local cities and towns, Garett’s dream was to make a difference. He didn’t have enough time on Earth to realize his goals, but the foundation in his name will carry on his efforts in his honor.

HELPING CHILDREN

Garett recognized the importance of bringing hope to disadvantaged children. He believed that when a young person realizes that they aren’t alone in the world, they become part of the larger community of hope.  It is the goal of the GHFG Foundation to grow this community of hope by combining the optimism, curiosity, and passion of youth with their growing life skills. We may not solve the problem today, but we have hope that together we can help bring us one step closer to solving it someday.

The world’s problems won’t be solved overnight. But lives can be improved, hope can be offered and a difference can be made. Help us learn about projects you know of that are worthy of support.

MESSAGE FROM GARETT'S MOM

Arava Talve (Chairperson of the GHFG Foundation)

The last text message Garett sent revealed who he really was. He was a champion of everyone who needed a helping hand. He wrote, “You are stronger than you think.” The loss of a child at any age is so unimaginably tragic, but despite our grief, we have chosen to look up in hope rather than look down in sorrow and despair. It is Garett's strength that we seek to spread through the programs and projects we will support. Please join us.
