Angel Charity for Children Inc
Tucson, AZ · EIN 86-0472794. Reported 37 grants totalling $5,889,564 to 34 organizations across tax years 2020-2024, on Form 990 Schedule I.
Does this grantmaker accept applications?
Its tax return does not say, and we will not guess. Private foundations file Form 990-PF, which asks outright whether they fund only organizations they select themselves -- 78% say yes, and that one answer is what lets the rest of this site tell you which foundations are worth approaching. Grantmaking charities like this one file a regular Form 990 instead, and the IRS never puts the question to them. Anyone claiming to know the answer from the filing is inventing it.
Three things in the filing do bear on it:
- What kind of organization it is. For Angel Charity for Children Inc, the IRS classifies it under human services rather than as a grantmaker (NTEE P300) -- it is an operating charity that also makes grants.
- How spread out its giving is. 34 distinct organizations, with 17% of the dollars going to the largest single recipient. That is genuinely spread out -- the mark of a funder making many independent decisions rather than underwriting one institution.
- How much its list changes. 0% of one year's grantees are funded again the next, across 4 year-to-year transitions. That is below the 57% median for grantmaking charities, and well below the 67% private foundations manage. A list that turns over this much is one a newcomer can realistically join.
How big are its grants?
The median reported grant is $50,300. Half of what it reported fell between $25,000 and $75,000; the smallest was $10,000 and the largest $1,000,000. If you are asking for materially more than the top of that range, you are asking the wrong organization.
1 of those grants was non-cash -- goods, property or services worth $632,700 in total. In-kind giving is real support but it is not a cheque.
Every organization it funded
This is the complete list from its filings, largest first. Recipients are grouped by the EIN the filer reported, not by name, so an organization that was typed differently in two years appears once rather than twice.

What the money was for
Taken verbatim from the purpose column of its filings, largest first. This is the closest thing to a statement of what it funds, in its own words.
- Children's Museum Tucson
Angel Charity for Children has committed $1,000,000 to fund the renovation of the newly acquired building adjacent to Children's Museum Tucson (CMT), earmarked to become the new Education Center. Three new program areas in the center will expand the museum's reach to more children in the community and increase accessibility for children from Title I schools to attend field trips, afterschool programs, arts programs, and camps. The refurbished space will also include support areas for program development, provision of supplies, and direct engagement with program participants. The main entry hall will function as a welcome center for groups upon their arrival.Children's Museum Tucson has reached capacity in their current building,and with the completion of this project, estimates they will serve an additional 40,000 children in the first year alone, and welcome 60,000 more visitors annually. - Steele Children's Research Center
Angel Charity for Children committed $800,000 to fund the renovation of five laboratories and one research office space at the Angel Charity for Children Wings for Genetic Research. The existing labs have been well-used for over 30 years and have exceeded their lifespan. With the lab renovations, the physician scientists, students, and researchers at Steele Children's Research Center will be able to conduct state-of-the art genomic sequencing for up to 1,500 children annually, enabling physicians to use genetics as a front-end diagnostic tool by providing earlier detection of a variety of diseases. - Youth on Their Own
Youth On Their Own received $768,161 to fund the renovation of its recently purchased headquarters facility in midtown Tucson near the intersection of Country Club and Grant Roads. - Intermountain Center

Bonita that will become the Angel Charity Center for Children and Youth, an integrated service campus that provides these early intervention therapies. Children with complex needs will have access to primary care physicians, psychiatric services, occupational therapy, crisis intervention and more in this facility in an unprecedented timely manner. - Angel Charity for Children Foundation
Endowment funds held in Angel Charity for Children, Inc. that the original donor agreed to move to the Foundation and as approved by the board of directors of Angel Charity for Children, Inc. were moved to the Foundation so they can manage the funds and disburse the income for charitable purposes related to Angel Charity for Children, Inc. - National Alliance on Mental Illness of Southern Arizona

What kind of organizations it funds
By each recipient's own IRS classification, for the 30 of 34 recipients we could match to a registered organization. These are assigned categories, not our guesses -- Schedule I reports the recipient's EIN, so this is a lookup rather than a name match.
Giving by year
| Tax year | Grants reported | Total | Median grant |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 5 | $195,120 | $50,000 |
| 2021 | 7 | $1,219,383 | $71,000 |
| 2022 | 9 | $1,444,361 | $50,000 |
| 2023 | 9 | $1,717,600 | $63,300 |
| 2024 | 7 | $1,313,100 | $65,000 |
Tax years, not calendar years, and the most recent year is usually incomplete -- Form 990 arrives about a year after the year it covers, so a low final year means late paperwork rather than a grantmaker winding down.

Funders that support the same organizations
These grantmakers and private foundations gave to organizations this one also funded. Shared grantees are the strongest signal available that two funders have overlapping priorities -- and a funder already backing your peers is a far warmer prospect than one that merely lists your cause.
How to approach this grantmaker
- Look for a published programme first. Unlike most private foundations, organizations of this kind often do run open, deadlined grant cycles with written guidelines. Its own website is the authority on that; this page is the authority on who it has actually paid.
- Check you are its size. The median reported grant is $50,300 -- and because grants under $5,000 need not be reported, it very likely writes smaller cheques than this page can see.
- Check you are in its geography. Its giving concentrates in Arizona.
- Read the recipient list for organizations like yours. If nothing on it resembles your work, that is a real answer and a cheap one to get.
