Angel Foundation (mnangel.org), a local nonprofit 501(c)(3) helps adults with cancer and their families so that they may live life well with stability, strength and resilience through an innovative and integrated approach of financial assistance, education, and support. Since Angel Foundation's founding in 2001, more than 15,000 adults with cancer and their families have benefitted from Angel Foundation through their participation in Facing Cancer Together programs. In addition, thousands of adult cancer patients have been able to pay their rent and put food on the table thanks to the Financial Assistance program. By the end of 2011 more than $2.6 million in emergency assistance was distributed to local adult cancer patients.
