graham windham is a new york city-based nonprofit that provides services to children and families. it was founded in 1806 by several prominent women, most notably elizabeth schuyler hamilton (eliza). the organization has recently received greater awareness because of lin-manuel miranda's hit broadway musical "hamilton" in which eliza hamilton, portrayed by phillipa soo in its original run, expresses that she is "proudest of" establishing "the first private orphanage in new york city."
