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.

Connecting People

InterVarsity Christian Fellowship USA
Ministry at colleges is supported as a remembrance of Knox Porter's service as President of the Western Carolina University InterVarsity chapter during his senior year. When college students are discipled in strong Christian fellowships,  they benefit for leadership education is provided.  Spirits are enriched while students have the opportunity to build productive and inspiring lives.
"Christ has no body on Earth but yours, no hands but yours, no feet but yours.  Yours are the eyes through which Christ's compassion for the world is to look out; yours are the feet with which He is to go about doing good; and yours are the hands with which He is to bless us now."
- -  Saint Teresa of Avila
