For a number of years now, I have been aware of various philanthropic activities by this wonderful organization — from scholarships to book giveaways to online activity to other support for libraries — all of which promoted and facilitated readers of various ages engaging with books and literature and ideas. What a great tribute to the inspiring values of a family and the lifework of a sister!
I am the Associate Dean for Graduate Programs at St. John's College, Santa Fe, and I have worked closely with the Davis Foundation to fund scholarships to the Graduate Institute for select graduate students who are teachers. The wonderful people who run this foundation are caring and mission-focused to make access to reading the Great Books more possible. I can't say enough about our gratitude for them and their work.

Annette Davis and her foundation added a special touch to our Holiday Open House in December, 2024 at the Placitas Community Library by donating a wonderful assortment of children's books to our patrons. The children were very excited to select a new book and the parents were so pleased. Annette was very responsive to our request and very generous. Thank you Annette and all those that support your foundation.
This foundation is great to work with. As a partner to their work, they have intentionally selected scholarship recipients through a personalized process with us. We value their partnership and are very thankful for their contributions to teachers and young people!
The Davis Foundation provides books and scholarships to help children of all ages come to love reading and a rich culture of literacy. This is truly a selfless organization honoring a beloved sister and teacher by promoting her life's work - a love of learning through reading. Highly recommend this organization!
