2024 World’s Largest Origami Tree “Tree of Hope” (Grace Cathedral)

Grace Cathedral is partnering with Rainbow World Fund again this year to decorate the most unique holiday tree in the world (how you can help).

The Rainbow World Fund (RWF) World Tree of Hope® is the largest origami-decorated holiday tree in the world, traditionally standing over 22 feet tall and adorned with over 20,000 origami cranes and stars, each hand-folded and inscribed with wishes for the future of the world. The RWF World Tree of Hope is created each year as a symbol of global unity, promoting peace, love, and humanitarianism. The Tree is a gift from the LGBTQ+ and friends community to the world.

The Tree will be displayed at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco from December 1, 2025, to January 9, 2026. This year marks the twentieth anniversary of the Tree.
