Description
The Davis Family Foundation supports nonprofit project work in education, health, and cultural/arts, primarily in Maine. Colleges, universities, hospitals, clinics, medical research organizations, and cultural organizations are among its eligible applicants. The Foundation prioritizes Southern Maine, followed by other parts of Maine, and rarely awards grants to organizations elsewhere in New England. New positions, programs, initiatives, and pilots are welcomed, with applicants asked to explain their financial sustainability beyond the grant.
Trustees emphasize how a project will achieve results rather than lengthy explanations of the problem. They value data, clear action steps, and budgets consistent with the proposed work. Ideal projects include research-based educational innovation, evidence-backed improvements to medical care, and distinctive cultural experiences or preservation of Maine’s cultural and historic resources.
