A Christian Education (ACE)

A Christian Education (ACE) is a nonprofit organization in Brazil that partners with Christian schools to expand access to Christian education through full scholarships. ACE, based in São Paulo, has been active since May 2022 and, as of 2024, works with 26 partner schools, supporting 116 scholarship students in grades 3 to 12.

The organization’s scholarships are fully funded by a perpetual endowment, ensuring that recipients are supported until they graduate from their partner school.

ACE’s mission centers on nurturing students' academic and personal growth and plays a critical role in helping students from challenging socio-economic backgrounds, easing financial burdens, and fostering social development.

The organization prides itself on its financial transparency, with more than 93% of donations going directly to scholarships, a figure well above the standards set by Charity Navigator, which typically recognizes organizations that allocate 70% or more of their expenses to programs.

Testimonials from students:

• “Thank you, ACE! You made my dream come true. When I received news of receiving the scholarship, I cried with joy as I had no words to express my gratitude.” (R.P., 6th grade, scholarship recipient since 2023)

• “My parents and I are very thankful for this scholarship from ACE. I aim to use this opportunity to build a better future for myself, my family, and if possible, for the world. Even if I wrote two thousand pages of ‘thank you,’ I wouldn’t be able to express how this has monumentally changed my life and my family’s life.” (S.Z., 6th grade, scholarship recipient since 2023)
