The Davis Family Foundation concentrates its giving on local, faith‑oriented social services and education in and around Kiowa, KS. Its grants repeatedly support the town hospital, a boys’ residential ranch for at‑risk youth, a pro‑life pregnancy organization, and a small private/charter school—indicating a focus on sustaining essential rural health, youth care, and religiously affiliated education and life‑affirming services.
Concentrated, mid‑sized grants to a small set of repeat local grantees (multiple grants to the same organizations), prioritizing sustained operating or program support rather than broad, diversified giving.
A $25,000 grant to Preborn in 2025 is the largest recent award listed for Davis Family Foundation Inc, and it sits alongside repeated support for a rural hospital, a boys’ ranch, and a small school in Kansas. That pattern shows a foundation that uses relatively modest private giving to sustain a narrow set of local and faith-oriented services. In the recent grants, Kiowa District Hospital and Manor Foundation Inc received multiple awards across 2023, 2024, and 2025, while Freedom Gates Boys Ranch Inc appeared more than once as well. Life Preparatory Academy also received a $25,000 grant in 2024. The foundation’s giving is concentrated on organizations serving children, youth, and families, with a strong emphasis on direct service and operating support. Its philanthropy also reaches beyond Kiowa when a grantee fits that program profile, as seen in the award to Preborn in Indianapolis. Across the latest filings, the grant list points to a donor that favors recurring support for a small number of institutions rather than a broad portfolio of one-time awards.
Health-related giving is anchored by support for Kiowa District Hospital and Manor Foundation Inc, which received $17,500 in 2023, $15,000 in 2024, and $10,000 in 2025. That repeated pattern suggests ongoing help for local health infrastructure. In youth services, Freedom Gates Boys Ranch Inc was awarded $17,500 in 2023, then $7,000 in 2025, aligning with the foundation’s child and adolescent service focus. Education appears through Life Preparatory Academy, which received $25,000 in 2024 for education. The foundation also funded Preborn with a $25,000 grant in 2025 under public support, showing that its support extends to pregnancy-related services as well as local institutions.
The reported grant-size distribution centers on mid-sized awards: the 25th percentile is $7,000, the median is $15,000, and the 75th percentile is $17,500. Recent filings show repeated support to the same recipients across multiple years, especially Kiowa District Hospital and Manor Foundation Inc and Freedom Gates Boys Ranch Inc, indicating a pattern of renewal rather than one-time gifts. Davis Family Foundation Inc is a private foundation and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The available data also shows a local giving scope, with most grants staying in Kansas.
