What is the Angel Fund?
The purpose of the Angel Fund is to provide essentials, basic and emergency needs to North Branch Area students. The Angel Fund is under the umbrella of the North Branch Area Education Foundation (NBAEF). Monies raised specifically for the Angel Fund are separate from the NBAEF general/grant fund.
Who makes a referral to the Angel Fund for student needs?
There is a referral form available to counselors and staff members. It is simple, easy, and private.
What happens after a referral?
The school counselor evaluates the need and will contact the family to get approval for the request. The name of the person making the referral is not shared with the student or family. Once approval is given, a designated shopper is assigned the task of getting the item and returning the item to the counselor who will give the item to the student. Designated shoppers are reimbursed for the items purchased.

Where does the Angel Fund get their money?

How much money does each NBAPS building get?
