About Amerisure Charitable Foundation
The Amerisure Charitable Foundation concentrates its philanthropy almost exclusively on a single beneficiary — the Shepherd Center Foundation — indicating a strategic, targeted commitment to that organization's mission. Grants are relatively large and made repeatedly to the same recipient, suggesting long-term partnership rather than broad diversification. The foundation appears focused on supporting medical rehabilitation and related patient services and programs rather than distributing funds across many causes or geographies.

About Amerisure Charitable Foundation
Amerisure Charitable Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by repeated support for Shepherd Center Foundation in Atlanta, which received the largest grants on file in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That recurring pattern points to a long-running relationship rather than one-off awards. The foundation also backs a smaller set of Michigan-based organizations and education-and-service groups tied to youth development, disability inclusion, and community support. Recent grants range from four-figure awards to six-figure commitments, with support often described as general support. Across the latest grants list, the foundation’s portfolio includes medical rehabilitation support through Shepherd Center Foundation, youth development through Boys & Girls Club of Southeastern MI, and service to people with intellectual disabilities through Special Olympics of Michigan. It also funded Vista Maria in Dearborn Heights and Junior Achievement of Se Michigan, showing a mix of direct service and educational programming. The pattern suggests a funder that uses flexible grants to sustain organizations over multiple years while concentrating a large share of its attention on a core rehabilitation partner.
What Amerisure Charitable Foundation Funds
Medical rehabilitation is the clearest thread in the foundation’s grantmaking. Shepherd Center Foundation received $130,000 in 2023 and $125,000 in both 2024 and 2025 for general support. Outside that anchor relationship, the foundation has supported youth and education organizations in Michigan. Boys & Girls Club of Southeastern MI received $70,000 in 2023 and 2024 and $70,000 again in 2025, while Junior Achievement of Se Michigan received $50,000 in 2023, $70,000 in 2024, and $74,000 in 2025. The foundation also funds disability and community-service work. Special Olympics of Michigan received $65,000 in 2023, $71,000 in 2024, and $70,000 in 2025. Vista Maria in Dearborn Heights received $31,000 in 2023, $41,000 in 2024, and $41,000 in 2025.
How Amerisure Charitable Foundation Gives
Typical grant size sits at $3,000 at the 25th percentile, $5,000 at the median, and $10,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent list also shows a separate tier of much larger awards for long-term partners, including six-figure and mid-five-figure grants. Recurrence is a defining feature: several recipients appear in multiple years, especially in Michigan. Grants are made as general support, and the foundation does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
