Join us in creating a path to college for thousands of Brooklyn students—and a scalable solution to urban underachievement.

Your philanthropic gift to Ascend will be used to support the Ascend Reopening Fund. Your generosity will help us ensure that 2021 is a year of renewed opportunity and growth as we look forward to re-opening our doors and re-commit to providing an excellent education to our students and families.
The Ascend Reopening Fund will help fund critical investments in technology replacement, Covid-19 tests and safety equipment, clothing and other emergency needs for our most vulnerable population of families, and contingencies for continued remote instruction for some of our students. As a 501(c)3 organization, all donations to Ascend are fully tax-deductible, and gifts of any size are appreciated. Please click the link below to donate using a credit card. To mail your donation, please make out checks or money orders to Ascend Learning, and mail to Charlise Manuel, Ascend Learning, 205 Rockaway Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11212.
