Education Angel Grants

Angel Grant Overview:

In times of need, education plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of individuals and communities. Whether it’s overcoming barriers to learning or pursuing lifelong dreams, education is the key to opening doors to new opportunities. However, many students face significant financial challenges that prevent them from reaching their academic goals.

At AngeLink Community Foundation, (ACF) we believe in the power of education to transform lives. That’s why we offer educational grants to support Fundraisers to help provide funding, scholarships and resources for students in need. These grants are designed to amplify fundraising efforts and provide matching funds to verified post-secondary educational campaigns, skills and certifications training programs to help individuals achieve academic success.

Supporting Educational Fundraisers

You can create an AngeLink Fundraiser to support your post-secondary education or contribute to initiatives that promote learning. Once your Fundraiser is live, you may apply for an Angel Grant. Grants are awarded to verified Fundraisers and nonprofit organizations working to break down the financial barriers to education.

At ACF, we are committed to helping students pursue their dreams and achieve their educational goals. We believe that every student deserves the chance to succeed, regardless of their financial background. Through our Angel Grants, we are able to help those seeking to advance their own academic journey and amplify the efforts of compassionate individuals and organizations working to make a difference in education.

Reviewing Fundraisers

The AngeLink Trust and Safety Team ensures that all educational Fundraisers and beneficiaries are carefully vetted and verified. Our goal is to ensure that funds are directed to those who will benefit the most, helping students access the resources and support they need to thrive. Donations to these educational Fundraisers are tax-deductible to the extent permissible by U.S. law.
