Ascend Dallas is a mission-driven organization dedicated to empowering women, fighting poverty, and creating lasting generational impact. Since 1908, Ascend has been a pillar of support for women in the Dallas community, continually evolving to meet the shifting social, economic, and personal challenges that women face. What began as a response to the needs of the time has evolved into a dynamic and inclusive community dedicated to promoting women’s independence and well-being.

Today, Ascend Dallas serves as both a lifeline and a launchpad, where women facing poverty can access critical support and find opportunities for growth, education, and self-sufficiency. Through a strong network of members, mentors, coaches, and advocates, Ascend fosters a space where women not only receive help but also give back, creating a cycle of empowerment that strengthens individuals, families, and future generations.
