Community Improvement

In celebration of its 30th Anniversary in service to the community, the Beech Companies, Inc., through Beech Community Services, has published an online, digital community resources directory in an effort to identify local, regional and national resources that can help uplift and improve the quality of life for families, individuals and communities in the Philadelphia region.

Nine projects will use Knight support to foster resident engagement and equity in Philadelphia neighborhoods.

The Neighborhood Equitable Recovery Fund is a partnership between the Office of Community Empowerment and Opportunity (CEO) and Bread & Roses Community Fund that will support grassroots neighborhood nonprofit organizations that serve communities of color and those with low incomes, which have been hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Twenty grassroots organizations and community groups will receive $10,000 grants for general operations; applications were reviewed by residents of Kensington.
