The Collins Family Foundation concentrates its giving on local faith-based institutions, demonstrated by a single, large grant to Christ Church Episcopal in Macon, GA. The foundation appears to fund church operations or capital/strategic needs for its local Episcopal parish, indicating a strong preference for supporting religious life in its home community.
Highly concentrated: one very large gift to a single local religious institution rather than multiple or diversified grantees; suggests targeted, possibly one-off or campaign-focused support.
A $1.313 million grant to Christ Church Episcopal in Macon anchors the Collins Family Foundation Inc’s recent giving and shows how strongly the funder centers a single local institution. Across its latest reported grants, the foundation supported a mix of church operations, community outreach, disaster relief, public safety, and services for children with cancer. The pattern is closely tied to Macon and nearby Georgia organizations, with one large religious grant alongside a set of smaller awards to local and state-serving nonprofits. The foundation’s giving also reaches beyond the church into practical community needs. It awarded $100,000 to Rescue Mission of Middle Georgia for community outreach, $25,000 to Samaritan’s Purse for disaster relief, and smaller grants to organizations working on law enforcement, first responder support, public safety, and pediatric cancer patient assistance. That mix suggests a funder that combines congregational support with targeted aid for public and social service needs in its region. Recent grants are concentrated in Georgia, and the recipient list is dominated by Macon-based organizations, with additional awards to Atlanta-based public safety groups and one out-of-state disaster relief recipient.
In faith-based support, the foundation gave $1.313 million to Christ Church Episcopal in Macon for church purposes, making the congregation its clearest anchor grant.

Public safety is another visible theme: the foundation gave $10,000 to Georgia Department of Public Safety in Atlanta and another $10,000 to Georgia State Patrol Association in Atlanta, both labeled for public safety. It also funded crisis-response and health-related causes, including $25,000 to Samaritan’s Purse for disaster relief and $15,000 plus $5,000 to Jay’s Hope Foundation in Macon for children’s cancer support.
The foundation’s typical grant size is $8,750 at the 25th percentile, $12,500 at the median, and $339,500 at the 75th percentile, showing a mix of smaller community grants and one very large award. The recent record shows a clear concentration in 2025, with no evidence here of multi-year repeat grantees outside the same year.
