The program's priorities and focuses are centered on maintaining the integrity of Mrs. Sewall's philanthropic vision.

The foundation's strategic priorities are to honor its founder's legacy by supporting organizations that were meaningful to her, ensuring that her lifetime of philanthropy continues to resonate within the community.
