The Angels with Heart Foundation was founded in 2010 by Grammy-nominated R&B singer, Trey Songz. The foundation was a call-to-arms to engage Trey’s fan club to become a positive impact in their communities. Trey’s fan club members, known as “Trey’s Angels,” were called upon to give back by donating their time and effort to their respective cities. These Angels were called “Angels with Heart” which Trey later decided on as the name of his foundation.
Now, more than ever, celebrities are encouraged to engage in activities which address community needs in the cities they frequent as well as their hometowns. Athletes, entertainers and public personalities are able to leverage marketing opportunities to gain support for their targeted cause— a benefit that most charities cannot acquire. “Because I have been blessed to be in the situation where I am able to touch and be heard by so many people, it’s only right that I use that voice to give back and empower the youth, strengthen families and communities” says Songz.
Through strategic philanthropy efforts, Angels with Heart Foundation can give back to make a difference in communities across the nation.
