Investee Detail

Current Investee - ANGELS Foster Family Network

 Founded in 1998, the Angels Foster Family Network is a 501C(3) non-profit, licensed foster family agency, specializing in placing infants and toddlers with exceptional families in San Diego and Riverside Counties. The Angels mission is to rescue abused, abandoned, and neglected young children, match them with a select group of foster parents, and ensure the maximum emotional, social, and intellectual development of each child.

CEO Cathy Richman founded Angels in response to the foster-care crisis she witnessed during her five years as a volunteer in the San Diego County Juvenile Court. Drawing on her experiences as a child advocate and her research in child development, Cathy developed her own vision of a foster care agency staffed by professionals, affiliated with MSW-degreed social workers, and dedicated to placing needy babies with only the most carefully-screened, loving parents. The result was the Angels Foster Family Network.

In 1999, Angels placed its first baby, and as of the first quarter, 2007, they have placed approximately 185 babies.  Angels has set itself the ambitious goal of 50 new foster placements in 2007. Thanks to growing support from philanthropic individuals and organizations, Angels is well on its way to meeting this goal as it continues to serve the many needy babies in San Diego and Riverside Counties.
