DAVIS Employees with their grants

Founded in 2021, the DAVIS Construction Foundation (DCF) exists to provide financial support to non-profit organizations that are meaningful to our employees. Since that time, DCF has awarded 46 grants totaling $182,000 to charitable organizations that have been nominated by our DAVIS colleagues.  

We're excited to announce the four winners of the 2024 Splash Grants, each valued at $20,000! Congratulations to the recipients, who each received a donation from DCF to be donated to their nominated 501(c)(3) organizations:
