a healthy breakfast or

morning meal.

Approximately $50,000 is distributed annually to

ensure that all students can

Empowering TCDSB students to focus on their education

Students face assorted challenges that affect their ability to achieve their best. Through the support of donors, sponsors

and volunteers, The Angel Foundation for Learning is able to support, inspire, and nurture TCDSB students through our Four Wings of Support.

As you will see from this report, this past year has been exciting

, challenging and innovative.

The Angel Foundation for Learning is evolving and modernizing

its systems to keep up with

the growing demands of our programs and the communities we

serve.

With a focus on broadening awareness, creating new fundraisin

g opportunities and

streamlining the financial operation of the Student Nutrition Pr

ograms, 2018 brought new

excitement and fresh branding to The Angel Foundation for Lea

rning (AFL). Here are some of

the highlights.

• A complete overhaul of the website was undertaken after co

nducting surveys and

researching best practices for charities our size. The new website

is eye-catching,

interactive and with the addition of e-commerce, visitors can n

ow sign up for Cents

Off, purchase Special Occasion and Christmas cards, register an

d buy tickets for

the Evening to Feed the Soul Gala, the Ride to Feed the Soul, an

d the Charity Golf

Tournament right on-line!

• Fundamental communication pieces —postcard, PowerPoint

, ambassador package,

Cents Off program material, banners and certificates were redesi

gned with crisp and

eye-catching branding.

• An Evening to Feed the Soul, Angel Brigade Week, Civvies D

ay and The Ride to

Feed the Soul event materials were also given a fresh new appea

rance to attract new

audiences and create a sense of fun. We also introduced a new e

vent, the Curiosities

Art Show, thanks to a generous donation of original art works.

• The Student Nutrition Financial reporting form was redesign

ed to reflect the Toronto

Catholic District School Board’s (TCDSB) new KEV on-line sch

ool banking. Many

training sessions were held throughout the year to instruct scho

ols on the use of this

new form and the use of KEV for parent donations to student nu

trition.

The rejuvenation of communication elements and

events have added a new sense of recognition and buzz

around the AFL and we’re looking forward to using this

momentum to better tell our story and invite the Toronto

Catholic Community to join us to make sure every

TCDSB student has everything they need to succeed!

Thank you to the corporate partners, private donors,

volunteers, the TCDSB, the AFL Board of Directors, the

AFL staff and all of you who support us throughout the

year.

President, The Angel Foundation for Learning

Students who have had a healthy and nutritious breakfast or morning meal are ready to learn and have improved attention spans. This is just one of the benefits of the Student Nutrition Programs (SNPs) in TCDSB schools. In the 2017-18 school year, 58,227 TCDSB students benefitted from a healthy breakfast, morning meal, lunch or snack daily. There were 187 Student Nutrition Programs operating in 167 locations.

Municipal and provincial government grants in the amount of $5,117,802 cover approximately 24 per cent of the costs associated with running the SNPs. Schools raise the remaining funds through local fundraising initiatives, parent donations and community donations.

Some Student Nutrition Programs also receive grants from other organizations: Breakfast Clubs of Canada; the Grocery Foundation and President’s Choice Children’s Charity. The Angel Foundation also receives donations that are directed to Student Nutrition Programs from: TCDSB; The Youth and Education Fund; The Polish Orphans Charity; Dr. David Michelberger; CWL of St. Philip Neri; RTO District 24 and the Cardinal’s Dinner.

Guardian Angel Funds

Thanks to our fundraising events and the generosity of our donors, The Angel Foundation for Learning offered seven funds within the Guardian Angel wing of support to assist TCDSB students who had emergency needs that were beyond their family’s means. We believe that all students should have access to warm clothing, food, shelter, medical supplies and other necessities of life. We distributed a total of $147,606.87 in 2017-18.

Each year the SWEF expenses exceed our budgeted amount. The budget for this fund was increased in 2017-18 to $75,000. The SWEF is funded mostly from our fundraising activities, several donors (The Youth and Education Fund - $3,000; Martin McCarthy - $6,000; TD Securities- $10,000) and directed donations. A total of $88,096.11 was distributed to students and families from the following schools.
