Beverly Farm Foundation

What Beverly Farm Foundation does

Beverly Farm Foundation is a 501(c)-style non-profit organization founded in 1897 in Godfrey, Illinois, that operates a residential planned community for adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. The main campus integrates cottages, group homes, CILA (Community Integrated Living Arrangement) apartments, and standard apartments, supported by 24/7 licensed nursing staff, a medical clinic with primary care and specialty physicians, a dental clinic, OT/PT/speech therapy, a recreation center with pool, and a PATH Int'l-certified Equestrian Center. The organization serves approximately 250 to 400 residents drawn from 43 U.S. states, with a Community Day Services program located off the main campus providing skill development, sheltered workshop, and retirement-focused day activities. Specialized programs include Special Olympics training in five sports and a CILA expansion into the Alton/Godfrey area.

The organization's business model is multi-stream and primarily residential-care funded through Illinois Medicaid and related state programs (CILA, ICF/DD reimbursement), supplemented by individual resident private pay (apartments), earned revenue from the Equestrian Center (boarding, lessons, summer camps ranging $35-$850), retail revenue from The Shoppes (resale shop and coffee shop open to the public), and philanthropy. Philanthropic channels include the 'Have A Heart' recurring monthly giving program at $31/month (sponsoring one week of care per month), the 'Growing Our Family' corporate partnership program with tiered event sponsorships such as #Racing4BeverlyFarm, and family engagement via Family Weekends and the Catching Light monthly video podcast. GTM motion is community-led and direct-to-consumer, anchored by strong family and guardian relationships developed through structured visitations, on-campus events, and digital channels (Facebook, X, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn). No proprietary technology is disclosed — the organization competes on care quality, integrated campus services, regulatory standing, and brand heritage rather than on technology.

Governance is provided by a volunteer Board of Directors (chaired by James Pardikes) without parent company or external ownership. Leadership includes CEO Crystal Officer (appointed 2021, promoted internally from Direct Support Professional), Chief Development Officer Taylor Justice, Chief People Officer Anita Wilson Wellen, Director of Nursing Sandy Chadduck, and Director of Risk and Compliance Jacob Emmons. The organization holds no patents or trademarks in the source data, has completed no recorded M&A, and reports no external funding rounds, consistent with its non-profit operating model.
