The Reynolds and Reynolds Associate Foundation

Overview

Company History

Reynolds began in 1866 as a forms printing company in Dayton, Ohio. Our relationship with the automotive industry was born in 1927, when we created standardized accounting forms for franchised Chevrolet dealers in the US. We developed batch computer processing systems in the 1960s and 70s. That led to innovations of in-house dealership management systems that set a standard for automotive retailing into the next century.

In 2006, Reynolds merged with Universal Computer Systems, Inc. (UCS), another leading dealership software provider. The merger of Reynolds and UCS created one of the world’s top dealer services suppliers.

Today, we are a leading provider of software, business forms, and professional services for automotive retailers. We offer sophisticated web technologies and the only Retail Management System for the automotive industry.

We will continue to honor our legacy of innovation and customer service over the next 150 years, and beyond.

Who we are

The Reynolds and Reynolds Associate Foundation was created in 1956 when Dayton employees pooled donations together as a way to help local charities. It is now the longest standing associate-run charitable foundation in the United States. Managed by an all-associate board of trustees, the foundation meets four times a year to review grant requests, disburse funds based on associate feedback, and organize volunteer activities.

The Reynolds and Reynolds Associate Foundation

The Associate Foundation extends financial support to a wide range of programs and initiatives. Our focus areas include health and human services, at-risk youth, hunger, issues of the elderly, homelessness, literacy, life-threatening illness, animal welfare and shelters, and veterans organizations.
