As we step into 2026, we’re taking a moment to bid farewell to a milestone year: PACE’s 50th anniversary.
Throughout 2025, we reflected on what it meant to devote five decades to expanding economic opportunity in underserved communities.
We were reminded that this work isn’t just about providing support. It’s about empowering people to shape their own futures, one job, one business, one child and family at a time:
While we believe in a future where communities can thrive without barriers to economic opportunity, today’s realities of widening inequality make this work more urgent, not less.
As long as the need exists, we will continue delivering life-changing programs that uplift communities across Los Angeles.
As we close the chapter on our anniversary year, we do so with deep gratitude for the partners, supporters, staff, and neighbors who made it possible.
Looking ahead at 2026, our focus remains unchanged after more than 50 years: combating poverty, empowering communities, and expanding economic opportunity for all.
