Programs and results
What we aim to solve

Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Monthly Support
We use this money that we raise through the Padrino Child Sponsorship program, our yearly GALA and Auction to provide monthly support for the home. This provides food, clothing and some utilities (Gas, Water & Electric) for the children.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We hope to increase our donations to be able to provide more for the children. We also hope to raise more money so that more children can live in the home and be supported with food, clothing, school transportation and medical care. The home currently has 32 children and we have the capacity for 80.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We hold a Gala each year in February to raise funds. (Entering our 36th year) We have created a Padrino Child Sponsorship program where donors can sponsor a child Monthly or Yearly. We will be hosting an Auction to raise money for the home.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We took over for an ad-hoc group of US, Canadian and Mexican citizens that have been helping the children for 56 years now. We decided to create Acapulco Angels to formalize that mission. We typically raise $10-12,000 per year. Our goal is to increas to $30, 35,000 to cover more costs of operating the home and be able to add more children. This year we also want to do a couple of capital improvement projects.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
With our initial donations we have formed the legal entity Acapulco Angels, obtained IRS 501(c)3 status, created websites for donations and created the technology infrastructure to allow us to grow through software donations from Salesforce, Microsoft, Google and others. We have created a Padrino Child Sponsorship program to increase donations and we are organizing a new yearly Auction to raise money. The next steps are to advertise these programs and solicit donors to them.
