Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $229,637 spent. IN 2024, AUDREY'S ANGELS PROVIDED A TOTAL OF 5,242 HOURS OF INTERACTIVE MUSIC PROGRAMMING (AN INCREASE OF 7% OVER 2023), OF WHICH 563 HOURS (11%) WERE PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE. BY DECEMBER 2024, AUDREY'S ANGELS WAS SENDING 52 PERFORMERS EACH MONTH TO 113 ELDERLY CARE FACILITIES THROUGHOUT THE GREATER PHOENIX, ARIZONA AREA. INTERACTION WITH OUR ANGELS HELPS TO ALLEVIATE THE LONELINESS AND ISOLATION FELT BY MOST OF THE ELDERLY WE SERVE. MUSIC SESSIONS OFFER A FORM OF SENSORY STIMULATION WHICH PROVIDES POSITIVE RESPONSES DUE TO THE FAMILIARITY, PREDICTABILITY, AND FEELINGS OF SECURITY ASSOCIATED WITH MUSIC. CARE HOME OWNERS REPORT THAT 85% OF THEIR RESIDENTS DO NOT RECEIVE REGULAR WEEKLY VISITORS, SO FOR THAT LARGE POPULATION, AUDREY'S ANGELS COULD BE THEIR ONLY CONNECTION TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD.
