The William & Deborah Davis Family Foundation concentrates philanthropic support in the Philadelphia suburbs, with large gifts to local education and health institutions. Their giving favors a small set of repeat beneficiaries — notably a major children’s hospital, a regional Catholic university and local hospital philanthropy — and includes support for a Catholic secondary school. Grants are sizable and targeted rather than widely distributed.
Concentrated, high-value grants to a small number of repeat, local institutional grantees rather than many small or one-off awards.
William & Deborah Davis Family Foundation Inc centers its giving on a small set of repeat beneficiaries in the Philadelphia suburbs, with especially large support for children’s healthcare, Catholic education, and local hospital philanthropy. The clearest pattern is sustained funding to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, which received $200,000 in both 2023 and 2025 and another $100,000 in 2024. Villanova University also appears as a recurring recipient, with grants of $186,000 in 2023, $191,000 in 2024, and $86,000 in 2025. The foundation’s recent grants also show continued support for Bryn Mawr Hospital Foundation, Cardinal O'Hara High School, and several Catholic schools and affiliated organizations across the region. These are targeted grants rather than a broad dispersal of small awards, and the recipient list suggests an emphasis on institutions tied to education, healthcare, and Catholic community life in the Philadelphia area. Across the recent grants shown, the foundation gives in a way that favors repeated relationships over one-time support, with most awards landing in Pennsylvania and several grantees appearing in multiple years.
In children’s healthcare philanthropy, the foundation gave $200,000 in 2023 and again in 2025 to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, plus $100,000 in 2024. That repeated support points to a long-running relationship with a major pediatric institution in Philadelphia. In Catholic higher education, Villanova University received $186,000 in 2023, $191,000 in 2024, and $86,000 in 2025. The foundation also funds Catholic secondary education and related programming: Cardinal O'Hara High School received $100,000 in 2025, while St Aloysius Academy received $20,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Local health and service organizations also appear in the grant list, including Bryn Mawr Hospital Foundation, J Wood Platt Caddie School Trust, and the Augustinian Fund.
Typical grant size sits at $3,000 at the 25th percentile, $10,000 at the median, and $20,000 at the 75th percentile, but the recent grants list also includes several six-figure awards. The pattern is repeat-oriented: multiple recipients appear across 2023, 2024, and 2025, including Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Villanova University, Bryn Mawr Hospital Foundation, St Aloysius Academy, J Wood Platt Caddie School Trust, and the Augustinian Fund. The foundation is a family foundation, and the grant record shows conventional philanthropic grants rather than program-related investments or individual aid. The available data does not indicate an application process.
