2020 Impact – Angel Oak Creative

2020: A Year of Grit, Giving and Gut Checks.

We can all agree that 2020 was a year unlike any other in recent history. For Angel Oak Creative’s nonprofit clients, it was an especially uncertain year. Would they continue to operate? Would they meet the increased demand for their services? Would the community step up with increased generosity? Would supporters continue to engage even as they faced their own daily struggles of potential illness, job insecurity, homeschooling and more? Thankfully, the answer to all of these questions was a resounding yes!

A year of yes!

This is cause for celebration! So, we’ve produced our first-ever Angel Oak Creative impact report to share some amazing client successes as well as insights into our own work and investment in the nonprofit sector throughout a challenging year.

Angel Oak Creative’s clients are on the frontlines in the fight to improve opportunities, transform communities and save lives. We’ve been honored to walk with them as they seek solutions for our community’s growing needs.

You all (or should I say y’all) are fantastic to work with. I’ve worked with a lot of agencies over the years and this experience with Angel Oak is among the very best …. You and your team are priceless. This has been such an enjoyable experience for us. The quality of work is impeccable, but more important the gentle, giving, listening attitude has been so refreshing!!! You captured our energy and you delivered!!

Angel Oak Creative: By the NUMBERS

It’s a tradition of ours at Angel Oak Creative to theme each year and 2020 was our Year of Encouragement (divinely named before the pandemic hit)! What a privilege to walk alongside our clients through the ups and downs of 2020 and watch them boldly embody our belief that Love conquers all.

2020 Community Giving

Corporate social responsibility is a big part of who we are at Angel Oak Creative and we didn’t allow a pandemic year to change that. When our clients needed a pick-me-up, we were standing at the ready to offer it. Through our Angel Oak Cares philanthropic arm, we continued to invest our time, talent and treasure in 2020. That’s what being a part of a nonprofit community is all about.
