Ace Project

Support ACE Project During Give for Good Louisville

At ACE Project, we believe healing and prevention must work hand in hand. Through the Academy of Child Entrepreneurship including ACEpreneurs, PROM, and Men in the Making we help young people discover their gifts, develop practical skills, build businesses, and grow into confident leaders.

Our impact also reaches families affected by violence and trauma. Through ACE Healing: Voices of Pain, survivors receive compassionate support through healing circles, retreats, and safe spaces where they can grieve, connect, and rebuild their lives.

In the past year alone, ACE Project provided workforce and skill-building opportunities to more than 120 youth and healing support to over 50 survivors.

Your Give for Good donation will help us continue preventing violence by investing in young people while helping survivors move from hurt to hope to healing. Together, we can build a safer, stronger, and more compassionate Louisville.

Give today and help us continue Acting Compassionately Everyday!

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.

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

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