Making a difference, leading by example.
Launched in 2018, ACES CARES is a philanthropic initiative established by ACES Quality Management to enable employees to share in the firm’s success by contributing financially to the charities and causes close to their hearts. The program offers a dollar-for-dollar match of employee donations to a U.S. registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization of the employee’s choice and also supports employees’ wellness and community involvement programs.
Recognizing the tremendous need for charitable contributions and community support addressing issues related to COVID-19 and racial inequality, ACES Quality Management has expanded ACES CARES to include donation matching of up to $250 per employee and encourage employees to volunteer and engage in community outreach.
