Angels Among Us

What Angels Among Us does

Angels Among Us is a Nebraska-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in June 2006 and headquartered at 220 N 89th Street, Suite 101 in Omaha, with a secondary office in Lincoln. Its core function is providing direct financial assistance and emotional support programs to families affected by pediatric cancer who live in or receive treatment in Nebraska. The organization has served 850+ families since inception and has provided over $6,000,000 in cumulative financial assistance.

The operating model centers on two product lines. The Financial Assistance Program pays $600 or $1,100 per month (tiered by household income) directly to creditors — rent, utilities, medical bills, auto payments, prescriptions — for the duration of a child's treatment plan, typically 6 to 36 months with an average support duration of approximately 14 months. The Emotional Support Program, launched in 2022, comprises Healing Hearts (bereavement and caregiver support delivered with The Collective for Hope), Kids Link (monthly activities for children 0–12), Women's Recharge, Munchie Money meal vouchers via Children's Nebraska, family events, and the Lied Lodge Retreat. The Todd Feltz Competitor Scholarship ($2,000 awards, up to 10 per year) extends the offering to survivors. Physical infrastructure is anchored by the Harper Hope Center, opened September 2023 near Children's Nebraska, equipped with kitchen, laundry, and community space.

Revenue is generated entirely through philanthropy: individual donations, corporate sponsorships (minimum $3,000/year), fundraising events (Bland Cares Golf Outing, Birdie Battle, An Evening Among Angels gala), planned giving, gifts of stock, and donor-advised funds. There is no proprietary technology platform; the stack consists of a Qgiv donation portal, a WordPress website, and standard calendar integrations. Distribution to families is delivered through healthcare-provider referrals (Children's Nebraska, Nebraska Medicine, social work networks), the Harper Hope Center facility, and event-based programming across 40 Nebraska counties. The organization employs 5 staff and is governed by a 14+ member board drawn from leading Nebraska companies, with flagship foundation support from the Harper Family Foundation, Sunderland Foundation, Robert B. Daugherty Foundation, and Claire M. Hubbard Foundation.
