Our Charitable Giving Mission: Helping Non-Profits Market More Effectively
Founded in 2008 as the philanthropic arm of AMA Houston, AMA Gives Back has provided more than $150,000 in grants to Houston non-profits. Grant recipients can use the funds to help with a wide variety of marketing initiatives to promote their causes – allowing them to fulfill their mission and provide support and services to Houston and its surrounding communities.
Each year, AMA distributes a portion of our chapter’s net income in the form of AMA Gives Back Grants. While the grant program has long been the cornerstone of this program, AMA Gives Back also provides members the opportunity to donate their time and talent in support of nonprofit organizations.
Congratulations to our 2022 Grant Recipients: 8 Million Stories and Nextops
At the first ever AMA Houston Casino Night, Gives Back Grants were awarded to two deserving Houston non-profits – Eight Million Stories and NextOp – to support their marketing efforts.
Casino Night was a huge success thanks to the help of our generous sponsors, donors and those that came to play! The AMA Houston Gives Back tradition of supporting non-profits that give so much continues.


Grant applications will open January 2023!
