Ace Project

Support ACE Project in Give for Good Louisville

The Academy of Child Entrepreneurship includes Acepreneurs, PROM, and our Men in the Making. Together, these programs have had a powerful and lasting impact on our community by helping youth discover their gifts, build businesses, and grow into strong leaders.

But ACE Project is more than youth prevention and entrepreneurship. Through our ACE Healing Voices of Pain, we walk alongside survivors of violence and trauma, creating safe spaces for healing circles, retreats, and community support. This dual mission—healing for families and prevention for youth—makes ACE a unique force for change in Louisville.

Our Story:

ACE Project was born from tragedy when a grieving mother transformed the devastating loss of her son into a movement of compassion, healing, and opportunity. Today, ACE—which stands for Acting Compassionately Every day—is a community anchor in the West End, and we are seeking your support to continue developing and flourishing.

Why We Need Your Help:

We need operational and program funding to:

• Sustain and expand our ACE Entrepreneurship Program.

• Enhance the ACE Creative Makers Space, where youth build businesses, learn woodworking, sewing, and creative trades.

• Support our Entrepreneurship Retreat with lodging, transportation, and meals for participating youth.

• Strengthen our Healing Voices of Pain circles and retreats so survivors and co-survivors have the resources and community they need to move from pain to power.

Your Impact:

  With your gift, you are helping children and families in Louisville:

• Build lives that are LEGAL, LASTING, and LEGACY-BUILDING.

• Heal from the pain of violence and find community in their grief.

• See that their lives hold value, purpose, and endless possibility.
