Beacon Hill Civic Association Mission Statement
The Beacon Hill Civic Association (BHCA) was established in 1922 by a small group of neighbors
whose goal was to protect Beacon Hill's historic residential character. Today, the BHCA
continues as a volunteer organization that helps preserve and enhance the quality of life
on Beacon Hill, a historic, urban, residential neighborhood in downtown Boston.

Donate to our Annual Appeal
Our neighborhood is more than just a place to live – it is a vibrant community with a rich history and a promising future. However, to continue our mission of preserving, protecting, and enhancing Beacon Hill, we rely on the generosity of our neighbors. Your Annual Appeal donation makes a direct impact as shown on our 2025-2026 Impact Card, which lists just some of the work we have done this year on behalf of the neighborhood.
With your 2026 Annual Appeal donation, you become a vital part of preserving the character and legacy of Beacon Hill for generations to come. Every contribution – large or small – helps us do the work we do. |
