Matching Gift Campaign
Double the Moment. Double the Impact.
May 18 – June 5 | All gifts matched up to $500,000
Graduation is more than a ceremony—it’s a turning point. For the girls at Pace, it represents perseverance, confidence, and the belief that their future is worth investing in. Right now, during graduation season, you can help more girls reach that life-changing moment—and double your impact while doing it.
Nationally, students who graduate high school are far more likely to earn higher wages, find stable employment, and enjoy better long-term health outcomes. When a girl graduates and pursues college, her lifetime earning potential increases by more than $1 million. Yet only 66% of young women in the U.S. enroll in college—and that number drops dramatically for girls facing trauma, instability, or academic challenges. At Pace, those odds are changing: 9 out of 10 girls are engaged in school or employed after completing the program.
That’s because at Pace, graduation isn’t just about earning a diploma. Girls receive individualized academic support, counseling, and life-skills training that help them heal, grow, and plan for what comes next. They graduate with resilience, purpose, and a path forward.
And right now, every gift goes twice as far. Thanks to a generous $500,000 matching gift, your donation will be matched dollar for dollar—doubling access to the academic support, mental health services, and college and career readiness programs girls need to succeed. At a time when many students are still recovering from academic and emotional setbacks, this match ensures we can meet their needs immediately.
Your matched gift helps provide:
- Personalized academic support to keep girls on track for graduation
- Counseling and mental health services to build resilience
- Life skills training like communication, decision-making, and goal setting
- College and career readiness programming
- Workforce opportunities through PaceWorks, including job shadowing and internships
This graduation season, your generosity can help more girls cross the finish line—and launch into a future filled with opportunity. Give today and match her momentum.
