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 Paul M. Angell Family Foundation grants focus on three priority areas: Conservation, Performing Arts, and Social Causes. In Social Causes, their primary goal is to promote equitable, safe, and thriving communities for BIPOC populations. They aim to address root causes of persistent inequities, especially those stemming from structural racism and white supremacy. The foundation supports projects that offer quality education, networks of support, financial opportunities, and antiracist education, organizing, and advocacy with potential for systemic change. Recognizing resilience in BIPOC communities, their grantmaking focuses on Education, Economic Empowerment, and Justice. Grants types include General Operating, allowing flexible use of funds; Program/Project Grants, for specific goals; and Education grants, supporting knowledge dissemination activities related to the organization's mission.
