2023 Ascend Impact & Inspiration Report
I am delighted to share a love note in the form of Ascend’s 2023 Impact and Inspiration Report. In it, you will see how by making the most of the capital we have – intellectual, human, social and financial – we move closer to the world we want where all children and families are respected, valued, encouraged, AND supported to achieve their dreams. Let’s use the abundance we have to make the changes we deeply believe in. As we set our sights on what is possible in 2024, I hope this report offers you ideas and inspiration for what you can do to contribute to an impactful year.
Heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering passion and partnership and special love and appreciation to the Ascend team, who make magic every day. Transformation is a collective effort and adventure.
