Agency for Community EmPOWERment of NEPA

The Agency for Community EmPOWERment of NEPA (ACE) was incorporated in 1965 as part of a national network of federally funded Community Action Agencies. As a Community Action Agency (CAA), ACE administers various programs at the community level to assist people of low-income out-of-poverty conditions. The agency began with a budget of $430,000 as a grantee for the federal Head Start Program, maintaining fiscal and administrative responsibility for services in Lackawanna, Pike, Susquehanna, and Wayne Counties.

ACE is authorized to administer funds received from federal, state, local, or private funding entities to assess, design, operate, finance, and oversee anti-poverty programs. The organization is driven by its mission to empower people with the skills needed to become self-sufficient and enhance their lives through education, training, life skills, and support services. ACE depends heavily on volunteer work, especially from the low-income community.

Over the past 50 years, ACE has developed a broad range of additional programs and services that promote school readiness for children and families and help families struggling with the effects of poverty. These programs include employment, education, income management, transportation, workforce initiatives, veterans support services, weatherization, crisis and emergency food assistance, parenting support, childcare, and early learning programs. ACE is dedicated to Helping People Prosper.

Despite the noble mission and track record, there is no information available about the last investment and investors in ACE. The organization operates in the education sector and is headquartered in the United States.
