Serving Our Community

The Trust, established in 1987, aims to improve Springfield and Clark County life by investing in non-profit groups, adapting to public needs, and building on Carleton’s legacy for a vibrant community.

As responsive community leaders, our priorities will change and evolve as we address public needs. We believe it is important to continue to support those causes Mr. & Mrs. Davidson invested in throughout their lifetimes, as well as to build new paths with wisdom and insight. We believe each of The Davidson Trust’s investments will be fundamental pillars in the process of constructing a vital community that offers many unique opportunities and benefits to its citizens and the region.
