Our Story

The dg Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in honor of Dino and Nancy Motta Ghilotti. The gold dg logo was designed by Dino in a graphic design class while attending the University of Miami. Dino and his mother Nancy had an ability to light up a room, and both had generous and caring personalities that touched so many people. To keep their memory alive, The dg Foundation was established to support students with similar passions as Dino and Nancy for academics, athletics, and arts. The dg Foundation awards scholarships to San Domenico Grammar School, Marin Catholic High School, the University of Miami, and improves art programs and athletic facilities in the North Bay.
