The Jeffery and Patricia Davis Family Foundation concentrates its giving locally in the Rochester area with a clear emphasis on supporting children and education. Most dollars fund K–12 and youth-serving institutions (including faith-based schools) and family-focused health support like hospital lodging. Grants are few but sizeable, often directed to a small set of repeat or closely aligned organizations rather than broad, one-off giving.
Concentrated, local giving: a small number of relatively large awards per year, repeated support to core education and family-service organizations rather than many small or geographically diverse grants.
Jeffery and Patricia Davis Family Foundation Inc’s recent giving is defined by a tight Rochester pattern: repeated program-support grants to the same local organizations, with education and child-focused services appearing again and again. In 2025, its largest listed grant went to Education Success Foundation, and the same group also received support in 2024 and 2023, showing a multi-year relationship rather than isolated awards. The foundation also backed School of the Holy Childhood across multiple years, alongside Mary Cariola Center and Oak Hill Foundation, which places K–12 and youth-serving institutions at the center of its work. Beyond schools, the foundation has supported organizations that meet family and child needs outside the classroom. Ronald Mcdonald House received program support in 2024 and 2025, while Bivona Child Advocacy Center and National Center for Missing Exploit also appeared in the recent-grants list. The grant list suggests a local funder that concentrates on a small circle of Rochester nonprofits and favors direct support for programs serving children, families, and related community services.
Education is the clearest theme in the recent grants. The foundation gave $22,000 in 2025 and $20,000 in 2024 to Education Success Foundation for program support, and it also supported School of the Holy Childhood with $20,000 in 2024, $12,087 in 2023, and $10,000 in 2025. Nativity Preparatory Academy received $5,000 in 2024 and another $5,000 in 2025. Child and family services form another thread. Ronald Mcdonald House received $21,250 in 2024 and $5,000 in 2025 for program support. Bivona Child Advocacy Center was funded in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and Veterans Outreach Center also appears in three separate years. Health-related support shows up through Mary Cariola Center, Pluta Cancer Foundation, and Cancer Support Community Rochester.
Typical grants cluster tightly around $5,000, with a median of $5,000, a 25th percentile of $5,000, and a 75th percentile of $10,000. That profile fits a foundation that gives a mix of steady mid-sized awards and smaller recurring grants rather than very large outliers. The recent record also shows repetition: Education Success Foundation, School of the Holy Childhood, Ronald Mcdonald House, Bivona Child Advocacy Center, Veterans Outreach Center, and others appear across multiple years. The foundation is a family foundation, makes no program-related investments, funds individuals false, and uses program support language in the listed grants.
