  • 2004–05 Biennial Report
    History Beazley Foundation, Incorporated was established in December 1948 with funds provided by the late Fred W. Beazley, his wife, Marie C. Beazley, and son, Fred W. Beazley, Jr., all of Portsmouth, Virginia. In February 1956, Mr. Beazley formed a companion entity, Foundation Boys Academy, to operate a private secondary school for boys, Frederick Military Academy, and, later, a college, Frederick College. Th e College was gifted to the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1968 to become a part of the Community College system and the Academy closed in 1985. Shortly thereafter, in 1986, the Charter of Foundation Boys Academy was amended to change its name to Frederick Foundation and embrace an expanded mission, including charitable, religious and educational purposes, with the continued fi nancial support of Mr. Beazley. In 1993, Frederick Foundation merged into the present Beazley Foundation. From the Foundation’s inception, the needs of community and young people have been the primary focus of Mr. Beazley’s philanthropy. 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 and endowed college scholarships. Today, the Foundation remains privately endowed and neither solicits nor accepts funds or contributions from others. : 1 : President’s Message In 1959, Mr. Fred W. Beazley, the father of the Beazley Foundation, shared with an interviewer that, in establishing the Foundation, he acted “not…for gain but to give back to this community that which it gave to me,” intending to “leave the [Foundation] in such a sound state that it shall live forever.” When he died in 1974 at age 82, Mr.
