Corporate and Foundation Giving

The Corporate and Foundation Relations department builds partnerships with corporations and foundations that strengthen our community and provide critical support for The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation’s educational programming, preservation and ongoing research. In addition to restricted donations toward specific projects, opportunities for unrestricted gifts include membership in the Business Forum, our corporate donor society.

Matching gifts are an easy way to maximize your support of Colonial Williamsburg, allowing you to double or triple your impact. To determine if your company has a matching gift program, please visit our Matching Gifts search engine.
