The Shelby Cullom Davis Foundation is a New York based foundation established in 1962. It does not appear to have issued any grants since 2010.

Its chairman and treasurer Shelby Cullom Davis was a former US ambassador to Switzerland (1969 – 1975) and at the time of his death in 1994 was chairman of At Shelby Cullom Davis & Company, a firm specialising in insurance securities that he founded in 1947 with $100,000.

He was also on the board of the Heritage Foundation. [1]

Davis Foundation (subsequently renamed the "Diana Davis Spencer Foundation, Inc."; 34.9 percent, or $199,363), and its expenses allocated to the two new foundations as well.[3][4]
