We want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to you—our generous donors and supporters—for making this year’s grantmaking possible. Thanks to your commitment to Beacon Hill and our mission, the Beacon Hill Foundation was able to invest over $100,000 in projects that enrich our community, empower our team, and shape a brighter future.

In the last calendar year, our grantmaking totaled more than $100,000 and included support for:

◾️Sustainability — Creating Beacon Hill's first-ever0. Sustainability Report
◾️Advancing Dementia Care — through the Dementia by Day partnership with Rachael Wonderlin, who came to campus to provide additional training and education for team members, residents, and caregivers about new approaches to dementia care.
◾️Culinary Innovation — research and exploration of the best-in-class dining programs
◾️Investing in our Team — Through two rounds of employee scholarships, we helped 18 dedicated team members further their education and professional training.

None of this would be possible without you. Your generosity fuels our mission and makes a meaningful difference in the lives of our residents, staff, and the broader community.

Thank you for believing in this work and for making such a lasting impact. We look forward to another year of meaningful giving in 2025!

With your support, the Beacon Hill Foundation was able to grant funds this fall for a composting pilot project at Beacon Hill at Eastgate.

“Through our work with the Beacon Hill Community Sustainability Initiative (BHCSI), we have identified areas of opportunity throughout the community to improve our sustainability efforts through our operations,” says Sarah Johnson, BHCSI member and Service and Events Director.

We are pleased to announce a new pilot program that began just a few weeks ago with Organicycle, a local composting company.
