TAX STATUS:

The College is not a 501(c)3 organization. We are classified as an exempt organization due to our relationship with the Commonwealth of Virginia as a State Agency. Therefore, the College does not have an IRS determination letter as requested by many granting agency. However, if a granting agency can only give to a 501(c)3 organization, then it is suggested that they give monies directly to The College of William and Mary Foundation, which is a 501(c)3 organization. Contact [[smchamberlin, Stephen Chamberlin]] for further information about the Foundation.
