The Amherst Foundation concentrates its giving on a mix of health research and direct-service programs that benefit vulnerable populations. Its largest single award went to cancer data research, while other grants support education for at-risk youth, military families, disaster cash relief, services for disadvantaged children, and assistance for families affected by rare/undiagnosed disorders. Grants reflect both local Texas interests and some national/high-impact investments.
The Amherst Foundation’s largest recent grant was a $1 million award to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute for cancer data research, which signals how seriously it backs medical research alongside direct-service philanthropy. Across the grants provided, the foundation also supports education for at-risk students, assistance for military families, disaster cash relief, programs for disadvantaged children, and support for families dealing with rare or undiagnosed disorders. Its giving is not limited to one type of recipient: the recent list includes research institutions, local community funds, and service organizations. The foundation’s pattern is a mix of targeted project support and general support, often through organizations tied to the communities where Amherst employees live and work. Several awards are modest five-figure or sub-$10,000 grants, but the portfolio also includes larger commitments such as $150,000 for Fort Myers hurricane relief and $115,637 for educational opportunities for at-risk students. Recent grantees show a balance between Austin-based groups and national organizations, with support reaching health, education, military welfare, and family-service programs.
In medical research, Amherst Foundation funded Dana-Farber Cancer Institute with $1 million for cancer data research, then added $25,000 to Fibrolamellar Cancer Foundation for research on a cure and $23,000 to Prostate Cancer Center Foundation for prostate cancer research. That mix shows a preference for both broad cancer data work and disease-specific research. Education is another recurring lane. The foundation gave $115,637 and later $50,000 to Capital City Fund for Education to help provide educational opportunities for at-risk students. It also supported the Academy of Tele Arts & Science Foundation with $18,000 for summer internships and student-produced media work, and Readworks with $15,000 to improve literacy and help teachers reach reading goals. For community stability, Amherst Foundation made a $7,500 grant to Rebuilding Together Austin for health, safety, and accessibility repairs for low-income, elderly, disabled, and veteran homeowners, and $10,000 to Feeding America for food-bank-linked hunger relief.
Typical awards are small to mid-sized: the 25th percentile is $3,125, the median is $5,000, and the 75th percentile is $17,250. The recent list shows a few very large grants, but most gifts cluster around $5,000 to $25,000. Grants appear in multiple years across the same organizations, including repeated support to Capital City Fund for Education, Navy SEAL Foundation Inc, and Foundation Communities Inc, which suggests recurring relationships rather than one-off awards. Amherst Foundation uses both general grantmaking and an employee matching program, and one active community-grants program accepts unsolicited requests.

Amherst Foundation gives primarily in Texas: 63% of its grants go to recipients in the HQ state, and Texas is also the top state by grant count. Austin appears frequently in the recent grants list, including awards to Capital City Fund for Education, UR Our Hope, Thrivefunds Inc, Austin Allies, Rebuilding Together Austin, Foundation Communities Inc, Junior League of Austin, The Nobelity Project, and the University of Texas Foundation. Outside Texas, grants reached Boston, Virginia Beach, Brooklyn, Chicago, Jonesboro, Greenwich, Santa Monica, North Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Pearland. All recipient grants in the data are in the United States.
Its recent grants cover medical research, education for at-risk students, military and veteran welfare, disaster relief, food access, housing repairs, and services for children and families affected by rare or undiagnosed disorders. The active grant descriptions also emphasize education, social services, medical research, and military personnel support.
Yes. The recent grants show repeated support to several organizations across multiple years, including Capital City Fund for Education, Navy SEAL Foundation Inc, and Foundation Communities Inc. That pattern suggests some recipients receive follow-on grants rather than a single award.
The grant-size distribution is centered on smaller awards: the 25th percentile is $3,125, the median is $5,000, and the 75th percentile is $17,250. Recent grants include both these smaller awards and a few much larger ones, including a seven-figure research grant.
One active community-grants program accepts unsolicited applications, while the employee matching program and the general grants program are marked as not accepting unsolicited requests. The foundation’s grantmaking is also tied to communities where Amherst employees live and work.
Texas is the top state by grant count, and 63% of grants in the data went to recipients in the HQ state. Austin is a frequent recipient city, with grants to local education, housing, hunger relief, and social-service organizations.
