Funding Opportunities

Contributions to secure our general endowment are one of the most meaningful gifts a friend of the Foundation can make to help us preserve Virginia’s colonial capital.

Make a gift today to support the research, relocation, restoration and interpretation of the Bray-Digges House. Your donation will allow Colonial Williamsburg and William & Mary to more fully understand and disseminate this critical part of Americans’ shared history.

Colonial Williamsburg is excavating the Nassau Street site of First Baptist Church, founded in secret by free and enslaved Blacks in 1776. Part of an ongoing collaboration with First Baptist Church, this nationally-significant project has unearthed the foundations of the church’s original structure. These initial efforts and future work will help expand programming and tell a more complete and inclusive story about our nation’s founding and life in 18th-century America.

Friends of Colonial Williamsburg Collections brings together people with a personal commitment to strengthening the Foundation's collections. Your annual membership of $1,000 or more is tax deductible and will be used solely to acquire objects for the collections.

Honoring a tradition started by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who supported the USO during World War II, the Liberty Lounge is the first facility in Williamsburg to serve active and retired military since that time.

Contributions to the City Beautiful Fund support the preservation of Historic Area buildings, gardens and landscape. Make a gift today to help maintain and preserve these historic and iconic assets so they may continue to be enjoyed by generations to come.
