Our Mission



We’re here to empower and support the unique needs of low income youth, children, adults,  veterans, immigrants, and seniors in our community through education and social services.


Our Vision


To help individuals and families navigate through life challenges  and strengthen and empowered them to live their best lives!


Our Goal
We realized early on that before we can truly help the students in our programs, we must out to the students parents.


Our goal is to engage 1000 new families each year to move from poverty to self-sufficiency, to promote good mental and physical health to the community, to encourage renters to become homeowners, and  ignite individuals to become active citizens of their communities and instilling a sense of responsibility.

What we do


For all who call Adell Foundation home, we offer safe surroundings where individuals can explore,  discover, and create stable families and futures.


Our Purpose


We utilize our Principles of Personal Development Coaching  for youth and adults which include:
 • Positive Thinking and Language
 • Peaceful Conflict Resolution
• Responsible Decision Making


We partner with other organizations and nonprofits to assist families to design their plan toward a strong family unit and self-sufficiency.

 What we offer through our programs:
 Parent Support Groups 

Adult Basic Education (ABE) Workshops
Job Readiness Training

Family Bonding Field trips

Food Insecurity Prevention Programs

Homeownership Programs

Home Economics Classes

Financial Literacy Programs




illinois neighborhood revitalization program

 The Adell Foundation was awarded participation in the Wells Fargo Home Donation Program.  Once the home is donated we work with donors to raise funds to renovate the homes for participants in our transitional housing program  or home ownership sweat equity program.



Through our neighborhood revitalization work, we tailor our efforts by partnering locally with residents and community leaders and organizations to best address real concerns and improve the lives of the people who live there. 


 ‘It's about creating affordable housing; it's about stabilizing and revitalizing the community" states  our founder Nancy Crims.

COVID Community Recovery Program

Due to the COVID crisis the Adell Foundation has experienced a tremendous financial strain! The participation in our Family Matters food programs have increased over 200%! We started a summer meal program in eight host sites in Georgia. This at least makes sure youth in our host site areas  (toddler-18 years old) can receive one hot meal and one take home cold breakfast Monday -Friday. Most families used their stimulus checks to catch up on rent and mortgage payments. Medicine and Food expenses have to be balance on limited budgets  or are not paid at all. Children are hungry!  Family Coaching to help  restore family relationships as well as Financial Literacy Education to help  individuals and families get back on  track due to this COVID crisis. Won't you help us today. All donations are tax deductible.

OUR HISTORY

Nancy Crims, Founder, CEO Entrepreneur, Author, Master executive Coach, Master Life Coach, Business Management Degree from Robert Morris Business College, D.Div Lamad University, Business Management Professor at Lamad University

Adell  Foundation was founded in the honor of Nancy's Mother, Adell Buchannan in 2011. Growing up in Dixmoor Illinois, although Nancy's mother had 16 children, her mother always seemed to have enough to help feed others in the neighborhood. Her mother was always sought after by young mothers for words of wisdom and tough love at times. Mrs. Buchanan always wanted to see people succeed and be the best that they can be!


Following in her mother's footsteps to help others, Nancy created this organization to give those in need a hand up and not just handouts! Adell Foundation offers self-sufficiency programs, social service referrals, and direct services to help fight poverty, hunger, and homelessness.
