Our clients vary widely in size and complexity, including:
- Colleges and universities

- Private foundations and grant-making organizations
- Publicly supported entities with a broad range of purposes and operations

In addition, many of Hemenway & Barnes' professionals serve as directors and trustees of a large number of charitable organizations.
