The Kingston Fund
The Kingston Fund was established by Kathy Kingston in loving memory of her parents Winnie 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.
