Grants That Make a Difference
Rooted in Values. Focused on Impact
We introduce you to worthy charitable organizations that we support. Amicus offers MATCHING GRANTS for charities that advance education, conservation and our mission. Amicus does not accept funds but instead directs you to each recommended charity’s website. The charity receiving your donation will bill us for the match. We expect and honor full transparency with all donors and non-profits.

Our Mission
Amicus Foundation is faith based and family focused. We leverage our talents and financial resources to assist “well managed and effective”, non-profit organizations. We expect those organizations to produce results for their constituents. We will be strategic with our investments to maximize impact in each of our focus areas: families, faith, conservation, health , veterans and education. A healthy family and environment provides for the success of a Nation.
About Us
The Amicus Foundation was established in Montana in 2015 by John and Sheila Lake of Cameron Montana. We have two boys and three grandchildren. Sheila taught ESL English as a Second Language to farm worker’s children and John was an engineer and ultimately the CEO of a large water equipment rental company. In our life’s experience, we have been involved with special needs children, outdoor activities, University educational boards, church, and community organizations. We have hosted 5 foreign exchange students which helped us to expand our view of cultures and the world. Faith, family, freedom, and friends provide the energy and guidance for Amicus Foundation. The outdoors inspires us.

Faith
“Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain,” (Psalm 127:1). “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,” (Psalm 33:12a). We support ministries that educate and support belief in the Triune God, the assurance of salvation, and provide tools for understanding the Bible. We believe in America’s foundational religious values.

Families
We believe in supporting the traditional family structure by supplying the resources necessary to keep families intact. This support also extends to organizations that serve individuals with special needs and their families.

Education
“Education fuels the future.” We support organizations that believe in and teach traditional values. We also support merit and performance-based education at all levels. We believe that education should teach the difference between facts and feelings.

Conservation
We support sustainable management of our forests, wetlands, deserts, oceans and wildlife. God created the world for his people to steward. Good stewardship involves the implementation of practical scientific management of our resources to preserve them for future generations to enjoy.
Health
We support organizations that provide support services for the disabled whether mentally, physically, or psychologically impaired.
Veterans
We support organizations that help veterans find peace, purpose and meaning in their civilian lives after their years of dedication and service to our country.
