Treehouse Foundation works so hard to create the bonds between family and community in ways that both are strengthened and to envision a world where foster care doesn't have to become the defining and ongoing source of pain in families' lives. I'm happy to have another small way to support this visionary work and let more people know about it.

The Treehouse Foundation supports and inspires innovative child welfare practices to ensure that children who experience foster care find lifelong families in supportive communities, enabling them to lead fulfilling and productive lives. Community is at the heart of Treehouse. Our vision is: “Every child rooted in family and community.”
Our flagship intergenerational community in Easthampton, MA is home to 120 people, ages 9 months to 93 years, who live as neighbors, cultivating lifelong connections and investing in one another’s wellbeing. At Treehouse, children who’ve experienced foster care live with their adoptive families and receive the support and services necessary to overcome the educational and social/emotional challenges often caused by early trauma. The older adults who live at Treehouse act as honorary grandparents, enriching the children’s and their own lives, and embracing vital aging in a vibrant community.
