Arts+ has been a client of Ascend Nonprofit Solutions for over 10 years and a building tenant since 2022. The financial relief of having all services under one roof – finance, human resources, and IT is tremendous. The budget strain to account for each of them individually would severely limit the work we would do in the community. Additionally, not having the burden of managing a physical space brings a completely different value. All of it really helps us stay mission focused – without distraction. I often encourage non-profits to consider all the services of Ascend.

Over the course of the pandemic, Housing Collaborative had to quickly expand and accelerate its provision of direct financial assistance capacity to help people impacted by Covid. We would never have been able to distribute over $130M in rent and utility assistance without Ascend’s Finance Team, which provided nimble assistance and careful financial oversight, resulting in many households retaining housing – and clean audits for Housing Collaborative!

RAIN has utilized Ascend’s HR department for several years. We are pleased to have such expertise available onsite and knowing we are utilizing best practice is important. The HR department is always quick to respond and helpful with employee relations. RAIN is grateful for the services provided.

Moving our MECK Pre-K program to Ascend’s IT service was a huge win for Smart Start. The switch allowed us to update software and user access from one centralized location, rather than managing 200 individual devices. The amount of staff time saved has been incredibly helpful.
