Over the past year, Ascend served as the fiscal sponsor for eight grassroots charitable organizations that received funding from the Mecklenburg County Alcoholic Beverage Control Board. Last week, we assisted these agencies with the final documentation required to close out their grants in good standing. These eight local organizations received funds that totaled $162K for their work to provide education, prevention, treatment and/or research of alcohol and/or substance use disorders. Congratulations to each of these agencies for the important service they provide to our community!
