The Kinderhaven Foundation will begin accepting applications for its community grant cycle on Jan. 1, 2024.

"We felt that helping to support children through Fosterful was a wonderful way to kick off our upcoming community grant cycle for Bonner and Boundary counties," Betsy Dalessio, Kinderhaven Foundation board member, said.

Bonner Homeless Transitions and the Kinderhaven Foundation are celebrating the fruits of their year-long successful partnership.

Their selection to take over the annual Festival of Trees celebrations from the Kinderhaven Foundation left them feeling humbled, Community Resource EnVision Center officials said. "The Community Resource EnVision Center is honored that the Kinderhaven Foundation has selected us to carry the torch of the Festival of Trees," Linnis Jellinek, CREC executive director, said.

For the past 30 years, Christmas magic not only brightened the holiday season, it also helped fund Kinderhaven, a group foster home for children in crisis. Now, the source of that magic — the annual Festival of Trees gala — will go to fund Community Resource EnVision Center's programs instead. And Kinderhaven — which made the switch to a nonprofit foundation with the same aims in October — wouldn't have it any other way.
