Berks County Angel Funds

---

The Community Foundation manages several funds that provide grants of $25 to $1,000 for specific needs of children (under 18) in Berks County.

• The Berks County Parrot Head Club Angel Fund provides grants for children (under 18) who are in an extraordinary situation where a nominal amount of intervention is likely to yield life-changing outcomes. Preference is given to Berks County children who have a physical or medical need that the family is unable to afford.
• The Emmanuel ‘Manny’ Dimitriou Memorial Fund provides grants for children (under 18) with critical medical, social, or educational needs that will enhance their ability to achieve their full potential. Distributions also support the needs of individuals in the Berks County Treatment Courts.
• The Camella Maggs Client Memorial Fund provides grants for children (under 18) who have learning and physical disabilities.

A parent, guardian, teacher, social worker, caseworker, or court official may complete the application on a child’s behalf to be considered for a grant. If a parent or individual applies, these applications must be substantiated by a caseworker, school, medical, or court official. Decisions are generally made within 14 days of receiving application and the referral.
