"In the years of our experience in Afghanistan, we have found Ascend as the most reliable partner. The synergy we have created, the level of effort and energy the Ascend team showed, was unique, which has convinced us to look for a long-term partnership. Thanks to the strong leadership of Ascend, who paved the way for many young girls to start their businesses."

Corporate Partnerships

Your company’s support—whether through financial contributions, employee expertise, or mentorship—helps us expand opportunities for the communities we serve. At the same time, these partnerships strengthen your organization by deepening employee engagement, demonstrating leadership in social responsibility, and building a purpose-driven brand culture.

Event Sponsorships

When your company sponsors an Ascend event, you’re doing more than putting your logo on a banner—you’re investing in a future where every girl has the confidence and resilience to thrive.

Event underwriting fuels real, measurable change: more girls accessing safe outdoor programs, more young women trained as leaders, and more communities supporting gender equality.

In-Kind Donations

By contributing in-kind donations, your company not only strengthens programs that transform girls’ lives—you also showcase the values that define your brand. Your support demonstrates a commitment to equity, community impact, and investing in the next generation of female leaders.

Program Partners

By partnering with us, you help amplify impact—extending programs into more communities, strengthening outcomes for girls and young women, and ensuring that every dollar, hour, and resource goes as far as possible. Collaborations allow us to combine expertise, reduce duplication, and design initiatives that are both efficient and deeply effective.
