Launched Projects

For some projects and partnerships, the Beaver Falls CDC operates as an “umbrella” organization. This means that we invite people to kick off their project under our 501(c)(3) and we will provide them with connections, support, and resources as much as we are able. Once the project is stable and ready, it can emerge out from under our “umbrella” and become its own 501(c)(3). While some projects may always be under the umbrella, we hope to be a resource to help kick-start many others. Below are the projects that have benefited from the CDC’s umbrella and are now moving forward on their own.

2nd Ave Playground

While the Beaver Falls CDC is proud to have sponsored the improvements made at the 2nd Ave Playgroud, all of the credit belongs to the Beaver Falls Reunion Committee (BFRC). The reunion committee had a vision, energized community members, raised funds, and reclaimed this space for events and play. This effort was truly by the community for the community. We are amazed by their commitment to and pride for this place.

The Beaver Falls Reunion Committee recently established their own non-profit organization dedicated to maintaining Beaver Falls Tiger Pride and relationships amongst Beaver Falls graduates as well as fostering supportive efforts for the current students and future graduates of Beaver Falls. In addition to reuniting Beaver Falls graduates from all over for fellowshipping and networking every other year over Labor Day weekend, it is the goal of the BFRC to establish a scholarship or scholarships for Beaver Falls High School seniors. Beginning with the Class of 2019, awardees of this scholarship will be seniors who exhibit Tiger Pride through leadership, academics and civic engagement and have a financial need in their endeavor to attend a 2-year or 4-year college.
