Links to Third-Party Sites
This Site contains links to websites operated by third parties (“Third-Party Sites”) that are not under the Endowment’s influence or control.

Any mention on this Site of products or services provided by third parties is for informational purposes only and constitutes neither an endorsement nor a recommendation. The Endowment makes no representations and assumes no responsibility whatsoever for any third-party materials, any materials that you may access from a Third-Party Site through subsequent links, or any materials from any website from which you may access this Site. A link to a Third-Party Site is not intended as an endorsement of any views that might be expressed or referenced in the Third-Party Site.
