Connected Generations Foundation

IT'S OFFICIAL! We are so excited to annnounce that we are officially approved as a 501(c)3 with the IRS! This means that donations are now tax-deductible and more importantly, this opens the door for us to serve more seniors, expand our programs, build new partnerships and strengthen our impact.

We are so thankful to those that have partnered with us over the last 6 years to help seniors feel remembered, valued, and connected to the community. We've already made such a meaningful impact but know that more great work is on the horizon.

We will have information coming out soon regarding our Santa for Seniors program (holiday gift baskets) and how to donate for those who want to support our mission/vision. In the meantime, we'd love your help in making birthdays special for seniors at the Belton Senior Center. You can sign up here to donate a gift or bring a birthday treat! https://tinyurl.com/4nucs4np

Big Announcement! 🎉

Santa for Seniors is now officially becoming Connected Generations Foundation.

As we’ve worked through the process of establishing our own nonprofit and applying for 501(c)(3) status, we realized we needed a name that better reflects the full vision of what we hope to accomplish in our communities.

While our primary focus has been providing customized holiday gift baskets to seniors in nursing homes and low-income seniors, we’ve already begun expanding our outreach through a monthly birthday program at the Belton Senior Center. We also hope to bring that same program into local nursing homes in the future.

Beyond the holidays, our long-term goal is to provide essential support to seniors in need while helping bridge the gap between isolated seniors and the communities around them — which is exactly what inspired the name Connected Generations Foundation.

Our 501(c)(3) application is currently in progress as we await IRS determination, and we’re incredibly excited about what the future holds. This year, we hope to expand into new communities and impact more seniors than ever through kindness, connection, and practical support.

We hope our faithful supporters will continue this journey with us through this small name change. Our holiday basket program will still be known as Santa for Seniors, while our overall organization transitions to Connected Generations Foundation.

Thank you for supporting our mission and the seniors we serve. ❤️
