A Model of Community Rebuilding Through Collaboration in Philadelphia

The original mission of Beech was that of a grant-making foundation to support community services. Today, we continue to expand our original mission with the Alston-Beech Foundation, Beech Community Services, and the Beech Capital Venture Corporation. Just like the Beech tree our name is derived from, our goal is to grow strong and vibrant communities that stand the test of time.

After surveying the neighborhoods of North Central Philadelphia and the people who populated them, this group decided that this area was not only a sound investment, but it would be a smart one. Success would require patience, persistence, and expertise, but the yield stood to be life-affirming.

With more than 1,200 residential units built, countless people educated and employed, and significant capital steadily pouring in, it is clear who was right.
