AMG Charitable Gift Foundation concentrates giving on faith-based congregations and religious service organizations, major medical institutions (particularly cancer and children’s hospitals), and higher-education institutions, while also supporting community-serving nonprofits (United Ways, youth-serving clubs) and environmental/animal causes. The foundation makes many repeat, sometimes frequent, grants to a handful of core grantees—especially specific churches—while also writing substantial gifts to well-known hospitals and universities across the country.
Amg Charitable Gift Foundation gives at a large scale through a pure donor-advised fund model, with $52,493,625 in annual grants and $148,007,239 in total assets on file. Its recent grantmaking shows a strong pattern of repeat support to faith-based institutions, especially churches, alongside sizable gifts to hospitals, universities, and community intermediaries. The largest recent grant went to Mt Bethel Church in Marietta, Georgia, at $2,000,000 in 2025, followed by a $1,500,000 grant to Salvation Army Metro Atlanta Area Command in Norcross, Georgia. Across the recent-grants list, the foundation also maintains multi-year support for institutions such as DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, with repeated awards at the $272,500 level and larger gifts in other years. Similar recurring support appears for medical and educational grantees, including Boston Children’s Hospital and Nativity School of Worcester. The overall pattern is not one of isolated gifts, but of repeated giving to a mix of religious, health, education, and community service organizations.
Faith-based congregations are a clear part of the foundation’s giving. It awarded $2,000,000 to Mt Bethel Church in Marietta, Georgia, in 2025, and $500,000 to Waterstone in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 2024. The Church of Jesus Christ and other religious ministries also appear in the broader grant pattern. In health care, the foundation has supported both local and national institutions. It gave $900,000 to Boulder Community Health Foundation in Boulder, Colorado, in 2025, and $500,000 to Boston Children’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2025. Medical support also appears in repeated gifts to Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation in Aurora. Education is another recurring area. Amg Charitable Gift Foundation granted $600,000 to DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana, in both 2024 and 2025, and $500,000 to the University of Colorado Foundation Denver in 2024. Nativity School of Worcester also received $600,000 in both 2023 and 2024.
The typical grant profile is relatively small at the low end, with a p25 of $350, a median of $1,000, and a p75 of $5,000, even as the foundation also makes large six- and seven-figure awards. The recent list shows repeated grants to the same recipients across multiple years, including several recurring awards to core churches, hospitals, and universities. Amg Charitable Gift Foundation is a public charity and a pure DAF provider, which fits the broad, repeatable pattern of its giving. The data does not show an application process.
