Graham Windham is a private nonprofit in New York City that provides services to children and families. It was founded in 1806 by several prominent women, most notably Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton.[3] Since 2015, the organization has gained renewed attention because of the success of the Broadway musical Hamilton,[4] in which the character of Eliza Hamilton describes the orphanage as her proudest achievement.[5]

Graham Windham, Eliza Hamilton's centuries-old "living legacy,"[6] has evolved from an orphanage to a family and youth development organization that assists over 4,500 local children each year.[7] It has won awards, distinctions, and honors for its work.[8]
