Community

We Love Colorado Springs!

As a locally owned business, we depend on our community to support us. We feel it is important for us to return that support through the support of local causes and charities.

We exist to help others…and that includes helping our own people when they need it most. The Ace Helpful Fund is a fund that was established to provide short-term, emergency support to qualified Ace Hardware retail employees as well as Ace Hardware corporate, field and RSC employees who are facing serious financial hardship as a result of certain unforeseen and unpreventable circumstances and who thus cannot afford housing, utilities, and other basic living expenses.

This fund also allows all Ace retailers and employees, as well as friends and family members, to participate in this effort by contributing to the fund in support of members of the Ace family who may experience such a hardship.

Established in 1983, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals generate funds and awareness for more than 17 million sick and injured children cared for each year by its 170 affiliated hospitals, regardless of the family’s ability to pay. Although the program is national in scope, 100 percent of the funds raised in each community stay local, being donated to the nearest Children’s Miracle Network hospital.

The money the Ace Hardware Foundation raises is funneled to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals to help sick kids in a variety of ways – from purchasing new equipment and paying hospital bills, to funding research that allows doctors to remain on the cutting edge of medical advancements and technology. It is because of past generosity that Ace continues to rank in the top 10 of all Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals corporate sponsors.

Since 1991 Ace vendor partners, Ace retailers, Ace Retail Support Centers, and the corporate office have donated more than $107 million to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

Ace Hardware and the Ace Foundation are proud sponsors of the American Red Cross Natural Disaster Relief Fund. Together, we can help bring relief to areas affected by natural disasters.

After a disaster occurs, the Ace Foundation receives numerous calls and emails from concerned members of the Ace family who want to help. We understand and are proud to be part of a nation and a company so committed to lending a hand. Please be aware, however, that Ace works very closely with the Red Cross, and it is only after the Red Cross assesses the needs of the affected areas that they can make a specific product request. The initial need is always for monetary donations. After the Red Cross completes its assessment of an affected area, then they request specific items or products.
