Donate
Although ACE is a program of the Charles A. Dana Center in the College of Natural Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin, ACE is fully self-supporting through grants and donations.
Gifts to the ACE program are tax deductible and directly support our work of providing high-quality, research-based bilingual tutoring to struggling readers in low-income elementary schools in Austin and Manor, Texas.
Please consider making an investment in early childhood literacy. Gifts may be made:
- Online
- Mail:

Additional ways to give:
- Make a planned gift.
By including the ACE in your retirement and estate planning, you can diminish your tax burdens while supporting early literacy.
- Matching gifts
The impact of your gift to ACE may be doubled or possibly tripled! Some companies match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.
- UT Payroll Deduction
Are you a UT employee? If so, you can give to ACE through payroll deduction. Just type "ACE: A Community for Education" in the special gift information section.
- Corporate and Foundation Gifts
Forming partnerships with foundations and corporations enables ACE to meet our AmeriCorps matching requirement. Contact Jessica O'Mary, ACE Development Director, for more information: 512-471-4924
