A few special notes:

• Many employers will match employee charitable contributions, some at a greater than 1:1 ratio. This is a great way to multiply the effect of your donation so please ask your Human Resources department if your company provides this benefit. In the past, these companies have provided the Windham Endowment with matching funds.


• Windham Endowment is a partner of Leave a Legacy, an organization that promotes long-term giving through charitable bequests.

Please note that the Endowment is willing to work with you or your accountant, attorney, or other advisor. Individuals should consult their own advisor for specific tax questions as the Endowment does not provide tax advice or guidance.
