Mission Statement

Friends of Wil is a charitable non-profit organization established to honor the legacy of William “Wil” Henninger McBeath, Jr. by promoting a sense of community and encouraging engagement with the individuals and organizations in our daily lives. Friends of Wil will financially contribute to and organize a volunteer network supporting causes dear to Wil and his family.

Wil and his family support many causes that directly impact their family and community, spanning education, faith, and friends both personal and professional. Beyond financial contributions, Wil’s impact was far more personal. A friend to all and a true leader in his community, he generously gave his time to engage with and support the organizations and people close to him. Moreover, he provided his expertise as an architect to directly impact the lives of others. Wil was truly a “Man for Others.”

Groups fortunate to receive Wil’s support include Little Flower School and Parish, Gonzaga College High School, Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School, The First Baptist Church of Washington, DC and many others.
