The Tallgrass Endowment Fund exists to secure the long term sustainability of our mission, ensuring that individuals and families struggling with addiction will always have a place to turn for help, hope, and spiritual transformation. This fund is more than a financial resource. It is a promise. A promise that Tallgrass will remain a beacon of recovery, service, and community for decades to come.
The Endowment Fund allows donors, families, alumni, and supporters to create a lasting legacy that continues to impact lives long after the gift is made. Contributions to the Endowment are invested responsibly, with earned income supporting the operational foundation of Tallgrass while the principal remains preserved. This ensures stable, reliable support for future guests and the continuation of our spiritually grounded recovery program.
For those who believe in the mission of Tallgrass and want to make a lasting impact, the Endowment Fund offers a meaningful, enduring way to give.

*If you are unable to attend the event, there are tables available to purchase to gift to the recovery community.*
*All proceeds support individuals in need who would not otherwise be able to enter the Tallgrass 30-day residential program. Part of the reason our program succeeds is that Tallgrass believes in “skin in the game.” Your gift supports our mission and keeps Tallgrass affordable.*
Clinical research from Harvard Medical School shows that Twelve Step Facilitation (TSF) significantly improves long-term recovery outcomes. Compared to other leading therapies, individuals in TSF programs experienced 60–71% higher rates of sustained remission in the first year. Even more compelling, at a 3-year follow-up, abstinence rates were 50% higher among those engaged in Twelve Step–based care.
These results are driven by one key factor: active participation in recovery communities like AA, which has been shown to create lasting behavioral change, stronger support systems, and improved accountability.
At Tallgrass Recovery, our Twelve Step Program approach is designed to connect you with these proven pathways to long-term sobriety—so recovery is not just possible, but sustainable.
