How We Serve Our Community
Giving back to our community is a way of life at Populus. In 2004, we established the ACE Community Fund to donate time, money, and resources to causes that matter. We find ways to contribute throughout the year, including our annual in-store fundraising campaign, Give A Little, as well as ongoing partnerships with local and national charities.
Over the past 21 years, the ACE Community Fund has raised and donated more than $20 million to charities across the nation. We take pride in supporting organizations that assist children, advance education, and promote financial literacy. The charities we support have missions that resonate deeply with both our employees and our customers. ACE is committed to improving the quality of life in the communities we serve.
In fact, serving our communities is a corporate value that drives our thinking and our culture. Every dollar raised for the ACE Community Fund goes back into our communities. We are proud of this accomplishment and grateful for our Populus and ACE associates and customers. It is their dedication, support, and generosity that make a difference in our communities.
