What sort of financial support does Colonial Williamsburg receive?
As a private, not-for-profit educational institution, Colonial Williamsburg needs and encourages tax-deductible gifts and bequests from all who treasure the Williamsburg experience. Gifts to Colonial Williamsburg enable the research, documentation, and interpretive training fundamental to all its educational activities: the presentation of programs in Historic Area buildings, trade shops and museums, acquisition and conservation of art, preservation and maintenance, and production of publications and audiovisual programs. Thousands of philanthropic corporations, foundations, and individuals are building a base of financial support for Colonial Williamsburg.
