Rooted in love. Growing in togetherness.

The Belonging Tree Foundation provides individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities served by the foster care system programs and services that will plant strong roots so every individual can ascend toward their fullest potential.

Plant the First Roots.

We opened our doors to serve foster youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Before the branches, before the home — there are the roots: the first people who believe in this. Be one of them. Founding donors are named where it all begins, and stay part of the story as we grow.
