Jamestown Virtual Colony was made possible by the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities and Public Policy as part of its preparing for 2007 Initiative.

Through this Initiative, the Foundation seeks to broaden the observance of Virginia's 400th anniversary in 2007; to encourage individuals and organizations throughout Virginia to become involved in the observance; to support related scholarship and public programming; and to promote discussion of the most important issues that confront Virginians as the Commonwealth prepares to enter its fifth century. The views and opinions expressed in this program do not necessarily represent those of the University of Virginia or the Virginia Foundation.

The Virginia Foundation for the Humanities and Public Policy was established in l974 to develop and support public programs, education, and research in the humanities and to relate the humanities to public issues. The VFH promotes understanding and use of the humanities through public debate, group discussion, and individual inquiry. Principal activities of the Virginia Foundation include an internationally recognized fellowship Program, a series of Annual Initiatives and Special Projects, the Virginia Folklife Program, the Virginia Center for Media and Culture, a statewide network of Regional Councils, and the Grant Program. The VFH is non-profit and non-partisan and receives support from private gifts, grants and contributions, and from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Commonwealth of Virginia.
