We are a group of social entrepreneurs whose goal is break the cycle of dependence of alcoholics and addicts on their families, friends and charity by providing mentors, education and business opportunities within the recovering community. We require that our services and investment are used to provide jobs, improve productivity, prevent or treat individuals affected by alcoholism, addiction and other addictive disorders.

History
The concept behind the 12 Angels Evergreen Fund began in 2004 in a recovery house in Los Angeles, California. The treatment center provided exceptional care and support of the Addicts while in treatment but did not have enough resources to support Addicts on their reentry into the community. As a result many Addicts relapsed returned to treatment, ended up in jail or died. We believe we can increase the percentage of addicts and alcoholics that make it into recovery through social entrepreneurship.
Many Addicts who are highly educated with previously successful careers are unable to find basic employment due to criminal records, inconsistent work histories and scarred reputations. Our organization provides mentors, education, business services, micro loans for individuals and businesses that are supportive of the recovery community.
