What Angel Foundation does
Mission
We offer relief to cancer patients and their loved ones through financial assistance, education, and emotional support.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
In 2025, Angel Foundation served 4,213 unique individuals through its comprehensive programs, providing relief and support to adult cancer patients and their loved ones through financial assistance, education, and emotional support services. A cornerstone of this work is the emergency financial assistance program, which helps individuals and families meet essential non-medical needs such as food, rent or mortgage payments, utilities, transportation, and other household expenses. These one-time grants provide immediate financial relief during a time of significant uncertainty and stress, allowing families to focus on treatment and recovery rather than financial hardship. In 2025, Angel Foundation provided emergency financial assistance to 1,680 adults facing cancer.

This program helps cancer patients navigate the financial challenges that often accompany a cancer diagnosis by providing access to financial education, workshops, and one-on-one guidance from pro bono certified financial planners. Through personalized support and practical resources, the program aims to increase financial confidence, reduce stress, and empower families to make informed financial decisions during a difficult time.

Through innovative, evidence-based programming, we help individuals and families reduce fear and anxiety related to the cancer experience, manage stress, and develop healthy coping skills. Our programs also foster meaningful connections among families facing similar challenges, helping participants build supportive communities while helping the patient realize they are not alone in their journey. Programs include angel packs, camp angel, making memories, and educational workshops designed to support the emotional well-being of both adults and children. In 2025, Angel Foundation served 1,544 individuals through these programs and distributed 910 angel packs.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $3.9M to $4.6M (+17%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
97% of ANGEL FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (51% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 27 funders to 40 funders, grant income rose $188k → $1.0M.
16 of 112 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 40% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of ANGEL FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 112 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
ANGEL FOUNDATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 14% of grant income, and it takes 6 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left
62% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund ANGEL FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 16% · 2018 15% · 2019 14% · 2020 18% · 2021 19% · 2022 33% · 2023 50% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
36% of ANGEL FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
82% of ANGEL FOUNDATION's grant income comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
