The Davie Community Foundation serves to "provide pathways for caring people to leave a legacy that will shape the future of our community."

Unrestricted funds and donations allow the Community Foundation to address needs within the Davie County community. The Foundation accepts requests/proposals for projects within Davie County that impact Literacy or Youth. At this time, we do not review proposals outside of Davie County or make grants or loans to individuals.

The Davie Community Foundation:

Creates partnerships with grantee organizations, working together for the benefit of the community.

Invests in the Davie County community. We encourage strong leadership, strong financial management practices, and executable goals and strategies.

Foundation Priorities

The Foundation will concentrate its grant making on proposals from non-profit organizations within Davie County that address Youth or Literacy issues. Proposals must benefit, in general, all of the citizens of the county. In an effort to strengthen community leadership, requests for Capacity Building and strengthening of non-profit organizations that impact these areas will be considered.

Our process for submitting a grant proposal is easy to follow.

1. Complete a Notification of Intent form. Mail, fax, or e-mail it to the Foundation office.
2. We will review your Notification of Intent within one week of receipt. If your proposal falls within the requirements and interest of the Foundation, we will send you a Grant Application for completion.
3. Grant Application deadline is March 1st.
4. Applications will be reviewed by the Grants Committee in April and presented for final approval at the regularly scheduled May Board of Directors meeting. Applicants will be notified of awards in early June.

Questions about the Notification of Intent should be directed to the Foundation office between 9 am and 5 pm Monday through Friday at 336-753-6903.
