If You Believe What We Believe,
Consider Supporting The Hive!

"Community" is almost always defined as a group of people with common ideas, common characteristics, common goals or living in a common location. But in recent times, this has created a society made up of closed circles and hunkering down.

The HIVE believes there is a broader community that is defined simply by being human and that the time to reveal and activate it is now...    

Make Your Tax-deductible gift today by filling out the form below.

The HIVE operates under Beechwood Arts and Innovation, a 501(c)3 non-profit.  

All donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

A letter to our Golden Honey Donor Club Members...

​

The HIVE Has Officially Launched! Thank You!!

 

At The HIVE, we believe that a broader sense of community, defined simply by being human, can be revealed within and across communities. We believe this can happen by creating opportunities to engage, fueled by the arts, dialogue & collaborative ideas. These opportunities allow people to discover connections around being human, build understanding, foster a spirit of belonging and transform perspectives. We believe that the world needs more of this, and we believe the time for this is now.

 

We asked for your support last May, to help us make The HIVE a reality and to help us to do something that hasn’t been done before. It reminded us of when we set out to create Beechwood Arts in 2011, when we also set out to do “the impossible” – to create a tapestry of people from many locations to come together to enjoy a full mix of ALL the arts and community conversation – all around themes of being human – to connect, engage and to come away with a new or deeper understanding of themselves and others. Many of you supported the building of Beechwood and helped to make it into the magic that it became, complete with extraordinary experiences, engagement, dialogue and connection.

 

When we sold Beechwood, we set out to build “The HIVE by Beechwood” with an even more expansive mission – one that continues to build on that same legacy of community and connection, but to bring it out across all communities in partnership with the amazing Community Organizations of Fairfield County and beyond.

 

We asked again for your help – and you showed up!!! The early support we received from you, our Golden Honey Donor Club, allowed us to do the due diligence necessary to build the HIVE. We did the development, exploration, meetings and work-sessions with more than 48 organizations and 60 Leaders of Community, Arts and Culture Organizations, as well as tested The HIVE’s core Offerings & Conversations with the public at 10 events across several towns that allowed us to shape and define The HIVE.  
 

And we are excited to announce that, with your help, The HIVE launched on April 1!
The HIVE’s mission is twofold: 1. To facilitate community conversation for deeper engagement, connection and understanding and to create a sense of community. 2. To help Community Organizations collaborate and connect through The HIVE Partner Network.

We will all work together to create a "Human Pollinator Pathway" across communities!

The tools we are bringing to The HIVE are ones that we know work to build unexpected connection, understanding, empathy, collaboration & ideas between people!

 

And, because of you and your support, we now find ourselves standing at the threshold, once again, of a newly opened door…

Thank you!
