Beacon House was founded in 1991 to provide children in Northeast Washington, DC’s Edgewood neighborhood with a safe, nurturing, life-expanding community in which to increase their academic achievement, discover their talents, and grow into healthy adults who achieve their greatest potential. Our programs focus on closing the education achievement gap - and thus improving the economic trajectories - of children and youth ages 5-18 for whom generational poverty is most persistent. Beacon House is recognized as “One of the Best” nonprofits in Washington, DC by the Catalogue for Philanthropy: Greater Washington.
