“The Danos family of companies is deeply committed to strengthening our communities,” said Mark Danos, CEO of Danos Family Investments. “We’re honored to partner with organizations solving big challenges, and we’re excited to grow these partnerships through this year’s round of GIVES grants.”
Previous grant recipients have expressed appreciation for the funding received:
“Thanks to the continued support of the Danos Foundation, CASA of Terrebonne can fulfill our mission to be a voice for children in foster care by advocating independently and objectively in the courts for their best interest,” said Christine Aucoin, executive director of CASA of Terrebonne, a 2024 grant recipient. “Together, we are changing lives.”
“The Danos GIVES grant has been a game-changer for our Vocational Program, allowing students with intellectual and developmental disabilities to gain real-world job skills and greater independence,” said Kathy Webster, grant writer at Bynum School, a 2024 grant recipient. “The Danos Foundation’s belief in our mission means so much to us, and we are deeply grateful for their partnership in building brighter futures.”
“We know we can’t meet every need, but for the foster families and kids we do get to serve, it makes a real difference,” said Kassidee Downing, business manager at The Coffeehouse, a 2024 grant recipient. “Through the Foster Care Closet and the amazing support through the Danos Foundation, we are able to offer not just essentials, but dignity, comfort and a reminder that these families are seen and supported.”
Established in 2017, the Danos Foundation is funded by employee donations and corporate contributions. It exists to fulfill the organization’s purpose to “Honor God. Solve big challenges for our communities.” To date, the Foundation has awarded more than $1.3 million to 63 nonprofits across five states, including Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and Montana.
