What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

The Angel Foundation helps families in temporary crisis due to a life threatening illness or catastrophic event by matching them with businesses to meet practical needs and give them hope and keep them self-sufficient. Since 2006, the Foundation Angel Program has served over 850 families in a variety of ways. We match families with businesses as well as provide financial assistance to meet their practical needs such as paying a utility bill, a car payment and even their mortgage or rent payment. We also created the Junior Angels Program to raise up our children to be community leaders. We provide them with volunteer opportunities throughout the school year to get a better understanding of the needs in our community and the organizations that are filling the needs. They create projects to help make our community a better place to live. They earn community service hours and are gaining leadership skills that will make them a better community leader.

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

To provide hope and encouragement to families while in crisis so they can get back on their feet as quickly as possible.

We hope to help 100 families in 2019, 200 in 2020 and 300 in 2030.

Host events to raise awareness and funds to help families right here in our backyard.
Encourage our Directors, Volunteers and Junior Angels to be on the lookout for families in temporary crisis due to a life threatening illness or catastrophic event.
Create an Ambassador Program to bring in more volunteers to help us raise awareness about the programs.
Raise more funds to help more families and provide assistance to meet our local charity needs.

We have alot of boots on the ground, our ambassadors, we feature stories in our community newspaper. We engage local businesses in our work so they can identify families who could benefit from the program.

We have a solid Board of Directors, event committee members, social media platform and financial resources available to meet our marketing needs.

We have helped over 850 families since the program began in 2006.
We have almost 100 students from middle school to high school participating in our monthly projects.

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
