The Fisher-Crum Foundation focuses primarily on Christian faith-based ministries and small to mid-sized private colleges, with a strong geographic emphasis on Georgia and the Southeast. Their grantmaking favors local churches, youth programs, recovery/rehabilitation ministries, evangelical mission organizations, and regional liberal arts institutions, often providing repeated support to the same organizations over multiple grants.
Fisher-crum Foundation’s recent grantmaking is marked by repeated support for Shorter University, which received three grants of $50,000 in 2023 and 2024 and $45,000 in 2025. That pattern sits alongside a broader portfolio of Christian faith-based ministries, small private colleges, churches, and youth-serving organizations, with many awards going to groups in Georgia and neighboring states. The foundation’s recent grants also show continued backing for Reinhardt University, Georgia Tech Alumni Association, Mercer University, and local congregations, indicating a mix of higher-education support and religious or community-based giving. The foundation gave $2,378,011 in annual grants, and its awards often fall in the mid-thousands to low tens of thousands. Within the recent list, grants range from $3,500 at the low end of the typical distribution to $15,000 at the upper end of that range, with some larger awards in the recent sample reaching $50,000. Fisher-crum Foundation’s grantmaking includes recurring support to organizations over multiple years, especially in Georgia communities and at Christian-affiliated institutions. The pattern also extends to recovery ministries, youth programs, and evangelical mission organizations, giving the funder a consistent profile across religious and charitable education-related giving.
Christian higher education is a clear priority. Fisher-crum Foundation gave $40,500 to Mercer University in 2024 and $25,500 in 2023, and it also awarded $30,000 to LaGrange College in 2023. These grants point to sustained support for private colleges rather than one-off institution-specific gifts. Church and congregational giving is another visible thread. The foundation gave $40,000 to Rochelle United Methodist Church in 2023 and $30,250 in 2024, then supported Rochelle Trinity Church with $37,450 in 2025. It also granted $30,000 to Grace Baptist Church in Cartersville in 2023. Youth development appears in the recent list as well, including $30,000 to Atlanta Youth Project in 2025 and $40,000 to Cartersville Little League in 2025.
Fisher-crum Foundation’s typical grant size sits at a $3,500 25th percentile, $7,000 median, and $15,000 75th percentile. The recent grant list also shows larger individual awards, including several in the $40,000 to $50,000 range. The foundation’s giving is repeat-oriented: Shorter University, Reinhardt University, Georgia Tech Alumni Association, Mercer University, Faith in Serving Humanity, and Rochelle United Methodist Church each appear more than once in the recent grants. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its recent grants are broad charitable grants that appear to support operating, educational, and religious purposes.
