Angels Place is a local children’s charity.We help sick and/or dying children & their families. We provide in home/or hospital respite visits by our staff/volunteers to offer help for the cargeivers(Moms/DAds), listen to them, and stay with their child in the hospital room while parent takes a “well deserved break” for a few hours. We also offer many events for our A’s P children& their families during the year. A spring picnic with school students and many Kiwanis Clubs helping; a back to school supply drive for all our A’s P school children, Thanksgiving WalMart cards sent out to our neediest children/family; and a huge Christmas Party at Rummel H.S. with donated new toys/gifts for each A’s P child & their siblings. All our families get a huge bag from Santa(akaAngels Place), with wrapped presents/giftcards for each child in the family. We also attend every funeral of the A’s P childen who die either at home or at the hospital. Please help us with these programs, also a volunteer luncheon is held every year, and fundraisers as we can.

Presently we are seeking two key elements. First need a Fiscal Sponsor and second we are seeking a permanent facility to house our organization. Our goal is to provide a transitioinal housing and training facility for homeless Veterans (75%), and Non-Veterans (25%) to come to, for help, in becoming self-sufficient.
Many members of the Greater New Orleans Foundation donor community do in fact support their favorite schools and/or alma maters through their donor-advised funds. If the Foundation were to support individual teaching positions, our funding would be quickly exhausted. We rely on public entities such as city and state governments to fully support services like public education. In our Community IMPACT Program, for example, we give special attention to “systemic change [in education] and on holding public agencies accountable for the success of our public schools.” This includes ensuring that schools are properly reimbursed for all their expenses.
When will grants be available to support operating programs in non profit public schools? We are in need of funding to support another reading teacher for Read 180.
The new grant listing page is great! It’s easy to see available opportunities and determine quickly which match our mission. Thanks!
