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.

Steve & I were classmates from grade 7 to graduation. Our reunion was at a meal-packing event for Overflowing Hands, an NC charity successful at providing solutions to hunger insecurity. Soon, a mother in Nicaragua will open the package in my hand & serve a nutritious meal to a family. Hopefully, their smiles will be as big as ours.
