Background Statement
What if you could solve all of America’s problems by focusing on just one?
The economy, healthcare, crime, human services, national security—these are just a few of the things keeping Americans up at night. A recent survey of K-12 parents found that EDUCATION ranks 6th on the list of our most pressing concerns. But ACE Scholarships recognizes it should be our country’s top priority, and here’s why. Education is embedded in the roots of every single problem we’re up against. And it’s the proven solution to moving forward with hope for a brighter future. Because changing education changes everything.
ACE Scholarships is one of the nation’s largest K-12 scholarship granting organizations with a 25-year history of equipping lower-income families with access to a quality education. Our alumni are proof that what we’re doing is working... and our nation needs more of it. ACE isn’t just an “organization.” It’s a passion to provide access to the best education for every kid in America. We’re supporting litigation like the case that drove school choice forward and delivered the biggest legal win in education since Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. We’re inspiring big-hearted, forward-thinking donors who make supporting the future a priority. We’re backing the sharpest policy minds, creating more ways to fund access to quality education, and we’re innovating so states can distribute more scholarships than ever before. More than anything, we’re the link that brings students, parents, schools, philanthropists, business leaders, and legislators together to manifest a shared, singular goal: Educational Freedom for All.
Since our founding in 2000, we’ve delivered more than 45,000 scholarships in Colorado, and more than 121,000 throughout the country…and we’re just getting started! Join us in equipping young people with the life skills and education that can transform their economic opportunities and make their dreams come true.
