This grant will help us continue to support our community by supporting over 200 youth in the Indianapolis region with mentorship, career, and learning opportunities within their schools. 

“We are so grateful for the support of Ascendium Education Group and their continued efforts to positively impact students in our region by giving them access to our unique program. Because of this generous grant we will be able to add 200 new scholars to DREAM Alive.”

Good Neighbor Grants are part of Ascendium’s employee giving program, Ascendium Cares. Because Ascendium is a mission-driven nonprofit, employees often have strong connections to other nonprofits providing services that help people. Their expertise and direct involvement in Good Neighbor Grants provide an opportunity to recognize organizations doing good in their community. It’s one of many ways for employees to engage with Ascendium’s mission to improve outcomes, particularly in education and workforce training for learners from low-income backgrounds.

Since 2021, 100 nonprofits have received a Good Neighbor Grant, which allows them to continue going above and beyond to create education and workforce training opportunities in their communities.

DREAM Alive
DREAM Alive (DA) is a Non-Profit (501c3) based in Indanapolis which exists to break the cycle of poverty by helping youth discover career paths and mentoring them from 6th grade until high school graduation.
