When you include a gift to the Allyson Whitney Foundation, please let us know so we can thank you. You may also wish to designate your funds to a certain initiative and/or discuss an endowment fund in your name or in honor another person. If you prefer to remain anonymous, we respect that as well. Thank you for considering such a noble way to carry on our mission and your giving spirit. *Always consult your attorney for the best advice for you.
