Our Mission
Our Mission
The Winter-Lehman Family Foundation, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) Connecticut Corporation that is operated exclusively to seek out charitable causes or charitable organizations in need of support, and to design activities (including funding) to support such charitable causes and organizations. While the Foundation does not limit its charitable purpose or activities to any specific areas, the Foundation's Board of Directors annually establishes four "focus areas" (see below), which usually receive at least 75% of the funds expended per year. The Foundation tends to focus its efforts on the Greater Boston area and Berkshire County in Massachusetts; and Denver, Colorado.
