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 fundraising opportunities and streamlining the financial operation of the Student Nutrition Programs, 2018 brought new excitement and fresh branding to The Angel Foundation for Learning (AFL). Here are some of the highlights. • A complete overhaul of the website was undertaken after conducting 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 now sign up for Cents Off, purchase Special Occasion and Christmas cards, register and buy tickets for the Evening to Feed the Soul Gala, the Ride to Feed the Soul, and the Charity Golf Tournament right on-line! • Fundamental communication pieces—postcard, PowerPoint, ambassador package, Cents Off program material, banners and certificates were redesigned with crisp and eye-catching branding. • An Evening to Feed the Soul, Angel Brigade Week, Civvies Day and The Ride to Feed the Soul event materials were also given a fresh new appearance to attract new audiences and create a sense of fun. We also introduced a new event, the Curiosities Art Show, thanks to a generous donation of original art works. • The Student Nutrition Financial reporting form was redesigned to reflect the Toronto Catholic District School Board’s (TCDSB) new KEV on-line school banking. Many training sessions were held throughout the year to instruct schools on the use of this new form and the use of KEV for parent donations to student nutrition. 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.
