Jean Dressler Beasley Fund
Purpose
This discretionary fund, established by the family and friends of Jean Dressler Beasley, provides grants for the furtherance of the objectives of the Hinton Area Foundation.

Her principal contributions to community stemmed from her devotion to children and family. She was an ardent advocate for improved schools and student achievement. She was a gubernatorial appointee to the West Virginia Women’s Commission and the West Virginia Humanities Council. She also served as a member of the West Virginia Faculty Merit Foundation. She is remembered as a woman of high integrity, courageous convictions, unaffected humility, and winning personal warmth. Her friends from the West End and Hinton days were friends for life.
