Support us

Your gift will give Ascend students rich, joyful learning experiences and foster a life of boundless choice.

Ascend is a network of K-12 charter schools graduating high-achieving students who have access to boundless choice in their futures not only for college but in preparation for career readiness and thriving lives. An Ascend education goes beyond the classroom as we look to create the next generation of leaders and changemakers. We are deeply committed to advancing education equity for all of our students. Your investment supports over 5,000 students enrolled in Ascend’s K-12 free public charter schools in Brooklyn.

Ascend posted its highest scores on the SY24-25 NYS Exams - a testament that every child can achieve mastery. While we are proud of our results, there is still work to be done, and we will not stop until 100% of our students reach mastery. While charter schools are publicly funded schools, the supports that make Ascend’s curriculum impactful are made possible through charitable donations and philanthropic contributions. These funds will help us invest in our facilities, strengthen our program, and deepen roots within the Brooklyn community.

As a 501(c)3 organization, all donations to Ascend are fully tax-deductible, and gifts of any size are appreciated. Please click the button above to donate using a credit card. We also accept checks, money orders, stock, securities, donor advised funds (DAF), and wire transfers.

Please email info@ascendlearning.org with any questions.

With your continued support, we will achieve our goals to unlock boundless choice for all!
