The Montgomery Family Foundation concentrates its philanthropy on higher education, providing large, targeted gifts for university program support and undergraduate financial aid. A small number of sizable grants—including repeated, multi-part gifts to Auburn University—dominate their portfolio, with an occasional gift to a local faith congregation. The foundation appears regionally focused on colleges in the Southeast (and nearby states) and prioritizes scholarship and general program support over many small grants.
Montgomery Family Foundation Inc’s recent giving is anchored by repeated, large awards to Auburn University Foundation for various charitable program activities, including $458,564 in 2024 and $400,763 in 2025. That pattern points to a funder that uses substantial university grants to support higher education rather than spreading money across many small awards. The foundation’s portfolio also includes another Auburn-related gift to Auburn University itself for undergraduate financial assistance, showing a mix of program support and student aid within the same campus ecosystem. Beyond Auburn, the foundation has backed other colleges and university-linked organizations with scholarships and general support. Berry College Foundation received $125,000 in 2023 for undergraduate financial assistance, while Georgia Tech Foundation received $102,500 in 2023 and $51,500 in 2024 for various charitable program activities. The grant list also includes awards to South Plains College Foundation, University of Nebraska Foundation, and Western Technical College Foundation, reinforcing a pattern of higher-education-centered philanthropy with some support for faith-based and community organizations.
Higher education access is the clearest theme in the foundation’s grant history. Berry College Foundation received $125,000 in 2023 for undergraduate financial assistance, and South Plains College Foundation received $101,875 in 2023 for the same purpose. The University of Nebraska Foundation also received multiple student-aid grants, including $25,162 in 2025, $17,000 in 2024, and $12,000 in 2023. The foundation also funds university program support. Georgia Tech Foundation received $102,500 in 2023 and $51,500 in 2024 for various charitable program activities, followed by another $25,000 in 2025. That same broad program-support label appears in gifts to Auburn University Foundation and other nonprofits. A smaller portion of giving goes to faith-based organizations and community groups. Great Falls United Methodist Church received $149,543 in 2025, and Palace of Praise received $10,000 in both 2023 and 2024.
Typical grants are modest relative to the largest awards, with a p25 of $1,875, a median of $3,500, and a p75 of $11,458. That distribution sits alongside a few very large university gifts, which means the portfolio is skewed toward smaller awards with some outsized exceptions. The recent record also shows repeat recipients across multiple years, including Auburn University Foundation, Georgia Tech Foundation, University of Nebraska Foundation, and Palace of Praise. The foundation is a family foundation, gives regionally, and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
