WINDHAM FOUNDATION THE WINDHAM FOUNDATION is a fantastic model for those interested in preserving historic America, its architecture and culture. It was founded in 1963 by Dean Mathey of Princeton, N.J., who had family ties to Grafton. His inspiration was the area’s natural beauty, historic architecture and rural way of life. This resulted in the foundation’s mission: to promote the vitality of Grafton and Vermont’s rural communities through its philanthropic and educational programs and its subsidiaries whose operations contribute to these endeavors. Check out more about its scholarship programs and grants at www.windham-foundation.org.
