About the Foundation
The B. Robert Williamson Jr. Foundation is a private foundation established in 2012 with a lead gift by Chilton Investment founder, Richard L. Chilton, and his wife Maureen, in memory of their dear friend, Robert Williamson. The foundation is in its 10th year. Its objective is to leverage grants by partnering with proven grantees and aligned funders. It seeks measurable outcomes in either the intermediate or longer term.
The B. Robert Williamson Foundation currently targets grants in the areas of education and empowerment of youth, principally in New York City. As opportunities emerge, the foundation will provide grants in other areas of interest.

A letter from President, Treasurer & Director Caroline Williamson
I want to thank you again for your support of our 11th annual RW Classic. It would be hard to beat the 10th anniversary celebration that raised $1,000,000, but we had a great day and raised over $240,000 for our grantees. Our grantee retreat in May was a huge success. Many of the grantees met for the first time and the day resulted in newfound friendships and connections. We have seen increased collaborations between them, and it helped us learn from them how to improve as a funder. Our 12th annual RW Classic will be on September 12th at the Rockaway Hunting Club. We hope we can count on your continued support.
