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 and the Let Freedom Ring Foundation, this nationally-significant project has unearthed the church’s first permanent structure dating to the early 1800s. 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.

The center, which will be highly accessible to the public, will be located directly across from the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg.
