About Fanangel Foundation
Fanangel Foundation Inc’s recent giving is centered on school sports programs, with large awards repeated to the same schools across multiple years. St Joseph High School in Santa Maria, California received $139,151 in 2024 after a $103,981 grant in 2023, while Penn High School in Mishawaka, Indiana received $91,426 in 2025 and $87,611 in 2024. That pattern points to a funder that supports ongoing athletic programming rather than isolated one-time awards. The foundation’s recent grants also show a wide national reach through school-based sports support. Brennan High School in San Antonio, Texas, Grovetown High School in Grovetown, Georgia, and Erie High School in Erie, Colorado each appear more than once in the recent list, all tied to sports school program funding. Morro Bay High School in Morro Bay, California also appears multiple times, including awards of $63,788 in 2024 and $50,110 in 2023. The grant descriptions are consistently practical and program-specific, with wording such as “Sports School Program” and “School Sports Program.”
What Fanangel Foundation Funds
The clearest theme in the recent grants is support for school athletics. Fanangel Foundation Inc gave $86,525 in 2024 to Brennan H S in San Antonio, Texas for a Sports School Program, and later gave $66,309 in 2025 to the same school for a School Sports Program. Their support also reaches booster and athletics groups, not just schools. In 2025, Mead Mavericks Boosters Inc in Longmont, Colorado received $52,307 for a Sports School Program, showing that the foundation’s school-sports support can flow through local support organizations. The foundation also funds multiple schools in the same program category across different states. Maine West High School in Des Plaines, Illinois received $51,025 in 2025, and Sentinel High School in Missoula, Montana received $45,381 in 2024, both for Sports School Program support. That mix suggests a focus on youth athletics and school-based program delivery.
How Fanangel Foundation Gives
Typical awards are modest relative to the foundation’s annual grant volume, with a p25 of $7,212, a median of $10,742, and a p75 of $17,360. The recent list also shows larger program grants layered on top of that base, especially for school sports programs. The same recipients often reappear across multiple years, including schools that received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Fanangel Foundation Inc is a regular funder rather than a DAF or program-related investor. The grant pattern is program-specific and direct-service oriented, with repeated support to schools and athletics organizations rather than a one-off approach.
