The Paul M. Angell Family Foundation aims to improve society through support for the performing arts, ocean conservation, and poverty alleviation. Founded in 2011 to honor Paul M. Angell, the Foundation endeavors to continue his legacy of compassion, creativity, and hard work.
The grant program of the Paul M. Angell Family Foundation focuses on three key areas: Conservation, Performing Arts, and Social Causes. Specifically, in the Performing Arts sector, the Foundation seeks to assist in the creation and dissemination of performing arts, with a special emphasis on classical music and theater. Target beneficiaries include professional performers, presenters (including broadcasters), and educators, with current geographic focus areas being the Chicago area, Cleveland, Detroit, and the Mid-Atlantic Region (Washington, D.C. to Philadelphia, PA). The Foundation offers various types of support including general operating grants that provide flexible funding, program/project grants aimed at specific initiatives, and education grants to support mission-critical informational programs. It is noted that the Foundation does not currently support dance or film projects.
