Established in 2004 by Kathy Exton, with an initial gift of $5,000, this Fund will remain in perpetuity for the Williamsburg Music Club to draw upon annually to support its grants to young musicians at such time as the Board deems appropriate. (Suggestion: a minimum of $10,000 in the corpus.) At that time, the Board shall decide what annual percentage may be drawn down to allow the corpus to remain intact.

Announced at the Club’s 40th Anniversary luncheon, it was Exton’s wish to celebrate the significant impact the Music Club has had on her life and to honor its founding members, to include Exton’s life-long Music Club partner in music, Mary T. Gonzales.

It is hoped that the new Endowment Fund will provide both a destination for future gifts to include all memorial gifts assigned to the Williamsburg Music Club. It is also hoped that the establishment of this Fund will encourage others to help grow the Fund in order that future generations of young musicians in the area will be supported with greater funding to assist in their music education.

Contributions to this Fund are fully tax deductible under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Members, friends and interested parties are encouraged to make contributions by writing checks payable to the Club with the notation Endowment Fund and mailing it to:
