Community Involvement
Being a good neighbor is crucial to us, so we're constantly finding new ways to give back to the people and communities we serve.
In recent years, Ascend gave over $2 million back to our community through partnerships with local organizations, non-profits and educational institutions. Ascend is committed to bettering the lives of our members and positively impacting the communities we serve. Our overall giveback includes monetary, in-kind and volunteer contributions.
Community Impact
"One thing I enjoy most about being involved with Ascend is our impact on the community."
