Windgate Foundation issues formal letter to Hamilton’s Board of Directors
On October 13, 2025, the Windgate Foundation, which manages a $10 million endowment for the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum, issued a formal letter to Hamilton’s Board of Directors.
This letter (which we have permission to share) echoes our community’s call for accountability—demanding the immediate resignation of the current executive board and the appointment of new, diverse leadership.
Their action affirms what the printing community has been advocating for: a Hamilton led with integrity, care, vision, and transparency.

Petition Delivered to the Reva and David Logan Foundation Board of Directors
On October 27, 2025, the community’s petition and the first set of signatures was sent via certified mail to the Board of Directors of the Reva and David Logan Foundation, one of the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum’s major funders.
The petition calls for the resignation of Hamilton’s Executive Board and the appointment of new, diverse leadership committed to transparency, accountability, and care for the museum and its community.
A letter accompanying the petition urges the Logan Foundation to uphold its own mission—to “challenge the status quo” and support organizations that embody social justice, transparency, and creative integrity.
