    About Arthur Vining Davis Foundation #2

    The Arthur Vining Davis Foundation #2 concentrates its giving on public educational media, private higher education, and health care (notably palliative care), favoring national institutions and signature programs over neighborhood-level projects. Grants are often sizable general operating awards or multi-grant relationships to well-known organizations, indicating a preference for established nonprofits that produce educational content or advance professional practice in medicine and higher education.

    About Arthur Vining Davis Foundation #2

    A $600,000 general operating grant to Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in 2024 is one of the clearest signals of how Arthur Vining Davis Foundation #2 funds: it backs established institutions with large, program-specific awards or operating support rather than small local grants. Across the recent grants list, the foundation returns to three main lanes: public educational media, private higher education, and palliative care. It also supports interfaith leadership and environmental solutions, with grants tied to national organizations and partnership-based initiatives. The pattern is institutional and repeat-oriented. Fred Rogers Productions received two $300,000 awards in the recent record, one as general operating support and one under public educational media, while Weta and Wgbh Educational Foundation also appear as repeated recipients. In higher education, the foundation supports private colleges and university-based centers, including Dickson College, University of Michigan, and UC Berkeley. In health care, it has funded palliative care capacity through Mount Sinai and the Center to Advance Palliative Care. The foundation’s grantmaking shows a preference for organizations that produce educational content, strengthen liberal arts education, or improve care for serious illness and end of life.

    What Arthur Vining Davis Foundation #2 Funds

    Public educational media is a major line of giving. Arthur Vining Davis Foundation #2 gave $500,000 to Weta in 2025 for public educational media, and $400,000 to Wgbh Educational Foundation in 2025 for the same purpose. It also supported Prx Incorporated with $307,343 in 2024 and The Groundtruth Project with $250,000 in 2023. In private higher education, the foundation funds liberal arts and undergraduate-focused institutions. Examples include $275,296 to Dickson College in 2023 and $262,776 to University of Michigan in 2023. It also gave $314,868 to Uc Berkley Geater Good Science Center in 2025 under private higher education. Interfaith leadership is another distinct area. The Pew Charitable Trusts received $300,000 in 2023, while Interfaith America received $200,000 in 2023 and Hillel International received $200,000 in 2025. These grants align with programming that supports religious literacy and cooperation across traditions.

    How Arthur Vining Davis Foundation #2 Gives

    Typical grant size runs from $10,000 at the 25th percentile to a $50,000 median and $200,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent record also shows larger awards reaching $600,000, so the foundation uses a mix of mid-sized and major institutional grants. Recipients appear across multiple years, including Weta, Wgbh Educational Foundation, Fred Rogers Productions, and Rita and Alex Hillman Foundation, which points to recurring relationships rather than one-off gifts. The foundation is a regular funder, and several of its active programs are invitation-only, while private higher education is open-submission.
