What Transformations by Cleveland Angels does
Mission
To walk alongside children, youth, and families in the foster care community by offering consistent support through intentional giving, relationship building, and mentorship.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Cleveland angels' programs have one goal: to improve the experience of children, youth, and families experiencing foster care. We do this by recruiting, training, and matching community volunteers to local youth and families. The support, friendship, and relationship permanency provided by volunteers and staff increase the sense of security and stability of program participants and can radically improve academic, economic, and long-term outcomes for children and families. In 2025, cleveland angels hosted training events, collaborated with numerous agencies and organizations in beneficial work, built relationships with countless supporters, and coordinated the engagement of 259 dedicated community volunteers across greater cleveland.
$389,701 spent98% of program spendingCleveland angels' love box program provides consistent, community-driven, and holistic support to families and children experiencing foster care. The program matches dedicated groups of volunteers with foster families in their local community, building resilient support systems. Through this monthly intentional care, encouragement, and relationship building, caregivers reported feeling more supported and empowered, while children experienced increased stability, self-confidence, and a greater sense of normalcy. In 2025, cleveland angels continued its reach across greater cleveland. This included establishing and strengthening partnerships with local organizations, enabling us to serve 29 families and 103 children, providing crucial emotional and practical support to kids living in often uncertain circumstances, and offering them a stronger sense of place and safety.
$3,013 spent1% of program spendingThe dare to dream program offers one-to-one mentorship for youth in foster care, ages 11 to 22, by pairing them with trained, committed adult volunteers. These mentors empowered youth to build life skills, explore passions, and set and achieve meaningful goals. Each mentor-mentee pair meets twice a month to develop a personalized "roadmap to success," celebrating milestones together along the way. These relationships often extend beyond the initial one-year commitment, resulting in a deep, lasting impact. In 2025, mentors donated 608 hours and supported 55 youth in celebrating significant achievements, including high school graduations, enrollment in community colleges, and obtaining jobs - clear indicators of growth in confidence, trust, and long-term success.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
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 $81k to $156k (+92%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 12 funders, grant income rose $500 → $90k.
6 of 25 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 59% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

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
TRANSFORMATIONS BY CLEVELAND ANGELS has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 29% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
63% 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 TRANSFORMATIONS BY CLEVELAND ANGELS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 72% · 2022 43% · 2023 31% — diversifying over time.
“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
38% of TRANSFORMATIONS BY CLEVELAND ANGELS's funders are still giving 2 years after their first grant; 64% 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
59% of TRANSFORMATIONS BY CLEVELAND ANGELS's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $202k that is directly attributable, 84% of it comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $285k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
