The Dr. Robert A. Davidson Charitable Fund was formed in memory of Dr. Robert A. Davidson, known to most as Bob or Dr. D., who was a Portsmouth resident who practiced dentistry in Tiverton for 37 years. 

The fund is dedicated to raising money for local community causes.  Bob was dedicated to his family and his community, especially children, so the organizations chosen seemed a perfect fit.  Also, eight of Dr. Davidson’s 
grandchildren attend Portsmouth Schools, with one more to go.
