About Angell Foundation
The Angell Foundation concentrates its giving on education-related services for vulnerable youth, demonstrated by a single, large $650,000 grant to Hillsides. Their support appears targeted toward organizations that combine schooling with therapeutic, residential, or wraparound services for at-risk children and adolescents in the Los Angeles region. The foundation prefers sizable, focused investments in one organization rather than distributing funds broadly across many groups.

About Angell Foundation
The Angell Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by a $650,000 grant to Hillsides for education as opportunity, signaling a pattern of large, targeted support for organizations serving vulnerable youth. Across its recent grants, the foundation backs nonprofit work that connects schooling with therapeutic, residential, or wraparound services, with several awards going to groups in California and to partners elsewhere in the country. That mix suggests a funder interested in education access, youth support systems, and leadership or infrastructure that can strengthen service delivery. The foundation’s portfolio includes repeat support for several organizations. Campaign for College Opportunity received grants in both 2023 and 2024, and Rockwood Leadership Institute also appears across multiple years. Other awards show breadth within its stated priorities: education-focused work, food equity, and transformational leadership. Recent grants also include support for organizations in Los Angeles, Pasadena, Boston, New York, and other cities, showing that the foundation’s funding extends beyond a single local network while still concentrating a substantial share of grants in California.
What Angell Foundation Funds
Education as opportunity is the clearest throughline in the recent grants. The Angell Foundation gave $275,000 to LeadersUp for education as opportunity, and $200,000 to The Rightway Foundation for the same priority. It also supported Children Youth & Family Collabortv with a $200,000 education grant, along with awards to Hope Builders, College Access Plan, and the Campaign for College Opportunity. Transformational leadership is another recurring area. The foundation awarded $225,000 to Southern California Grantmakers for transformational leadership, $225,000 to the Institute for Nonprofit Practice for the same purpose, and $180,000 to Auburn Seminary. In food equity, it gave $175,000 to About Fresh and $150,000 to San Diego Food System Alliance, plus $150,000 to Alma Backyard Farms. These grants show support for youth opportunity, leadership development, and food access.
How Angell Foundation Gives
The Angell Foundation’s typical grant size centers on larger awards, with a p25 of $4,000, a median of $25,000, and a p75 of $100,000. Recent activity shows a much more selective upper tier, including multiple grants from $150,000 to $275,000 and one $650,000 award. The foundation is a regular funder rather than a DAF and does not make program-related investments. Its grantmaking also shows repeat support for some organizations across years, including Campaign for College Opportunity, Rockwood Leadership Institute, Institute for Nonprofit Practice, and Neo Philanthropy State Infrastructure Fund. Active grant programs are invitation-only, with a two-step process in the strategic program that begins with a Letter of Inquiry.
