The ASCEND Collective Annual Fund

The ASCEND Collective creates career pathways for U.S. servicemen and women, veterans and spouses. Your donation powers our AI-enabled skills translation, customized career support, and experiential, applied learning inside the Vanguard Rising Lab, ensuring candidates are truly workplace-ready before they ever meet an employer.

Every donation makes a difference: By supporting our mission, you support their success. After all that they’ve given our nation, your gift doesn’t just fund programs — it transforms lives, strengthens communities, and builds a future-ready workforce.
