About Daniel P Amos Family Foundation
A $2 million gift to Samaritan's Purse stands out in the foundation's recent record, showing how The Daniel P Amos Family Foundation can make very large, targeted grants alongside a broader stream of local support. The foundation's giving also includes repeated seven-figure commitments to Emory University and major support for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, which points to a portfolio that reaches across faith-based relief, higher education, pediatric care, and civic institutions. Recent grants show a pattern of backing established nonprofits with program-specific or general financial support. Universities appear often, including Emory University, University of Georgia, Mercer University, and Columbus State University, while cultural recipients such as Columbus Museum, Cape Ann Museum, Springer Opera House, and Historic Columbus Foundation show a second track of community and arts giving. Health-related support is also visible through Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and Piedmont Columbus Regional Foundation. The foundation’s general grantmaking program is aimed at strengthening the well-being of individuals and communities, with trustees encouraged to include Christian organizations among recipients. That emphasis fits the grant record, where religious, educational, health, and local cultural institutions all receive substantial backing.
