Oprah’s Angel Network was born in a 1997 episode of “The Oprah Winfrey Show”, when Oprah invited viewers to join her in using their
lives to improve the lives of others. What began as a campaign to encourage viewers to collect spare change for 150 scholarships given through The Boys & Girls Clubs of America and to volunteer time to build 200 homes for the needy with Habitat for Humanity International(TM), evolved into Winfrey’s charity. The Angel Network’s Global Fund for Children targets ambitious grassroots organizations that are developing sustainable programs to help children who might otherwise slip through the cracks.
