Tandem in the Community

The 2019 Tandem Foundation Awarded $40,000 To Davis Schools

Since the start of the Tandem Foundation in 2000, Tandem has given over $450,000 in grants supporting local school programs. This year’s annual Tandem Foundation awards were given out on May 21, 2019. Tandem awarded $40,000 at this year’s event to fund a variety of projects for Davis schools.

Davis school district Superintendent, John Bowes, told the Davis Enterprise,

“We are so grateful to the Tandem Foundation for their 19 years of partnership and support of our schools, our teachers, and our students. Their generosity, year after year, continues to make a positive difference in our classrooms.”

The annual Tandem Foundation is just one of the many ways Tandem Properties gives back to the local community. With owners who are local families themselves, Tandem takes special pride in supporting the community’s educators with this wonderful event each year.
