From the Foundation’s inception in 1948, the needs of community and young people have been its primary focus, consistent with the concerns of Mr. Fred W. Beazley, the founder.

Healthcare, housing, education, recreation and like concerns have resulted in substantial Foundation grants to an array of organizations and programs serving southeastern Virginia, ranging from recreation centers for both adults and children, to housing projects, endowed college scholarships and human needs.

Today, the Foundation remains privately endowed and neither solicits nor accepts donations.
