Mission Statement

While not technically a foundation, A Firm Foundation is a donor-advised fund administered by The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta. The Porter Fund provides gifts to causes which are right, so that loving-kindness may be upon others. Teachers have a posterity which will continue forever, it will not be blotted out. Thus both instructors, and students of promise, are recognized in order to maximize learning. Since learning and understanding are more profitable than gold and silver, institutions which present richness, and help humans find truth and excellence in life, are supported. Yet, not all of the world’s people live lives of variety and richness. In order to seek justice, to rescue the oppressed, defend orphans and feed those afflicted by famine, charities receive support – both locally and globally- with hope that the favor of the Lord will be upon recipients. May God establish the work of the hands of all who receive gifts from this fund.

Equipping Christian Ministry

Samaritan's Purse
Samaritan's Purse is supported for Operation Christmas Child and their work enabling children to learn to read and write. Everyone deserves the chance to succeed. 
“I just believe as a Christian, we are to show love; we are to show compassion to people, not to point the finger, not to do this, but to do this - to love them, to welcome them, to embrace them.” 
-- Franklin Graham

HEALTH AND WELLNESS
Availability of clean water reduces the prevalence of preventable diseases. The World Vision project "Water and Sanitation" is supported in order to address global health, save lives and cut mortality rates by supplying life-giving water in areas where there is suffering from illness.  Lives are changed when safe water and sanitation projects give hope, health and a future to communities.  Hygiene is important for there is too much death from water-related diseases.  Reducing the hours collecting water in a day can increase the time children spend in school.

“So many people are crying out to God for His help. Might you be the answer to one of their prayers?” 
― Richard Stearns
