 The
Kingston Fund was established by Kathy Kingston in loving
memory of her parents Winnine and Willie Kingston. To play an
active role in philanthropy, Kathy Kingston and the Advisors,
her nephew and nieces, will meet annually to make grant recommendations
to support educational and charitable programs of Cape Cod. The
Cape Cod Foundation will administer the fund and distribute
the grants.
Willie and Winnie Kingston taught our family
to always find the positive, to have fun in whatever you do and
to care about and reach out to others. Through The Kingston Fund,
Winnie and Willie Kingston will always be remembered for their
love of Cape Cod, strong values, great sense of humor, and their
deep love and caring for their family and many friends.
The Kingston Fund is a donor-advised fund
of The
Cape Cod Foundation. Tax-deductible contributions to this
fund may be made at any time by sending your gift to The Cape
Cod Foundation address listed below.
