About Davie Family Foundation
The Davie Family Foundation concentrates its giving on programs that expand opportunity for children, youth, and women—primarily through education access, youth development, and empowerment projects—while also supporting sustainable food systems and niche health/disability services. Grants skew toward organizations offering direct-service or pathway programs (college access, residential farm-based learning, child welfare and anti-trafficking support) with a mix of local (Florida), national (U.S.), and international (Africa) recipients. Funding tends to be mid-to-large gifts focused on measurable program delivery rather than broad endowments or policy work.

About Davie Family Foundation
A $185,780 grant to Global Opportunity Fund is the clearest recent signal of how the Davie Family Foundation gives: it backs educational, social-support, and entrepreneurial projects for women and children in Africa, alongside U.S. work for youth, families, and food systems. The foundation’s 2025 grants also include a $171,500 award to Path to College to help overlooked students pursue higher education, showing a strong interest in pathway programs that move people into opportunity rather than broad institutional support. Across its recent grants, the foundation mixes large program grants with smaller targeted awards. It supported Anne Saxelby Legacy Fund for a farm-based residential learning model for young adults, Place of Hope for child welfare and anti-trafficking services, and Regenerate Nebraska for agricultural and community food-system work. Smaller gifts went to a medical-training organization in Kenya and to a Florida prenatal-support provider, which points to a portfolio that reaches into education, youth wellbeing, women’s health, and agriculture. The pattern is practical and program-specific, with funding directed toward organizations delivering direct services, training, or structured learning opportunities.
What Davie Family Foundation Funds
Education access is a visible part of the foundation’s giving. It awarded $171,500 to Path to College to assist students from overlooked communities in pursuing higher education. In youth development, it gave $75,000 to Anne Saxelby Legacy Fund to support young adults learning and working on sustainable farms. Women’s and children’s empowerment also appears in the recent grants. Global Opportunity Fund received $67,000 in 2025 for educational, social support, and entrepreneurial projects for women and children in Africa. On the health side, Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies received $2,500 to provide prenatal care, education, and support for improved birth outcomes. The foundation also funded Kenya Medical Training Alumni Association with $6,500 for students at Kenya Medical Training Center and related health-sector training, research, and consultancy.

Typical grant size sits around $6,425 at the 25th percentile, $13,750 at the median, and $32,500 at the 75th percentile, with several much larger awards in 2025. The recent list shows repeat support for some recipients: Global Opportunity Fund, Place of Hope, and Kenya Medical Training Alumni Association each received more than one grant in the year. The foundation is a regular funder rather than a donor-advised fund and does accept unsolicited requests through a general grant request process. Its active grant programs describe short-form or email-based intake for projects aligned with its focus areas.
