Since 1984 · A 501(c)(3) for Davis
Empowering students.
Strengthening small business.
The Davis Chamber Scholarship Foundation has invested in Davis since 1984, helping local high school seniors take their next step, welcoming new staff to our schools, and giving local businesses a boost. Every dollar stays right here in Davis.
What we do
Four ways we invest in Davis.
One Foundation, four programs, all funded by our community and local businesses.
Annual Scholarship Fund
Since 1984, over $40,000 awarded to graduating Davis high school seniors. Recipients are honored onstage at Celebrate Davis each May.
New Staff Welcome
Since the 1960s, member businesses have welcomed all new DJUSD staff with goodie bags every August.
Small Business Grants
Since 2022, $10,000 in no-repayment grants to help locally owned Davis businesses elevate and grow.
Jeremy Brooks Memorial Golf
Our annual tournament at Wildhorse Golf Club turns a great day of golf into scholarships and grants.
Our Story
Good things grow slowly, and they grow here.
In 1984, the Davis Chamber created the Foundation to award scholarships to local students. Forty years later, it has grown into a 501(c)(3) that awards scholarships, welcomes new school staff, funds small-business grants, and hosts a charity golf tournament. It runs entirely on the generosity of our community and local businesses.
To our Davis students: we want you to know of our strong support and encouragement as you follow your path, whatever and wherever that may be.
Recipients are celebrated onstage at Celebrate Davis, the Chamber's biggest night of the year.
Davis Chamber FoundationWhy we give back
Beyond business, we invest in Davis.
The Foundation was set up with the hope of creating a sustainable fund to keep awarding our hard-working students and helping them pay their way. We could not do it without donations.

Over 70% of Davis high school seniors go on to colleges, trade schools, and the military beyond UC Davis. This Foundation helps them take that next step, whatever path they choose.
