Record-Breaking Year for ACE Greater Boston: Boston Nonprofit Awards $279K, Hosts June 4 Event

The ACE Mentor Program of Greater Boston will host its annual Networking & Fundraising Event on Thursday, June 4, 2026, from 6:00–9:00 PM at Artists for Humanity. The event brings together professionals from across the architecture, engineering, and construction (A/E/C) industry for an evening of meaningful connection, industry engagement, and support for the next generation of talent.

Now in its 19th year, ACE Greater Boston introduces high school students to careers in the built environment through its free, after-school mentoring program. During the 2025–2026 program year, 158 students from 39 high schools across the Greater Boston area completed the program-working alongside industry professionals on a real-world design project.

The 2025–2026 program year also marked a major milestone, with ACE Greater Boston awarding $279,000 in scholarships to 32 seniors at its annual Student Showcase-the highest total to date. Since 2015, ACE Greater Boston has awarded more than $2 million in scholarships, made possible through the continued support of industry partners and individual donors.

 Proceeds from the June 4 event directly support ACE Greater Boston’s year-round programming and student scholarships, ensuring the program remains free and accessible to high school students across the region. The June 4th event reflects the same collaborative spirit that defines the ACE program, offering attendees the opportunity to strengthen industry relationships while directly supporting workforce development. Support from attendees and sponsors plays a critical role in sustaining the program each year.
