Annual Reports: 2000: Introduction
The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation
is the corporate name of the nonprofit, tax-exempt, educational
organization established in the 1920s to preserve and restore eighteenth-century
Williamsburg. An independent board of trustees oversees the institution.
Large and diversified, the Foundation employs 3,500 men and women.
Its educational and museum programs and subsidiaries require more
than $190 million annually. Research, preservation, maintenance
of buildings and grounds, interpretation of exhibition buildings
and trades, scholarly publications, educational film production,
educational outreach, and conservation of art and antiques collections
are among the costs.
The money required to operate Colonial Williamsburg comes from
diverse sources, including admission sales, contributions, sales
of trades productions and licensed reproductions, publications,
videos and films, Merchants Square property rentals, and hotels
and restaurants. Determined annually in accordance with board of
trustee policies, a portion of the Foundation’s investment
income is available for educational and museum programs as well
as Historic Area preservation and restoration.

The
restoration of Williamsburg . . . offered an opportunity to restore
a complete area and free it entirely from alien and inharmonious surroundings,
as well as to preserve the beauty and charm of the old buildings and
gardens of the city and its historical significance. . .
As the work progressed, I have
come to feel that perhaps an even greater value is the lesson
that it teaches of the patriotism, high purpose, and unselfish
devotion of our forefathers to the common good. If this proves
to be true, any expenditure made there will be amply justified.
-John D. Rockefeller, Jr., 1937
