  ACE's operating framework bridges and cultivates collaborations for established entities and grassroots leadership engagement and equity empowerment. ACE focuses on closing the equity gap by providing sustainable resources and building healthy and financially empowered communities for the world's underserved and under-resourced populations.

  ACE's collaborative framework promotes grassroots participation in strategizing and implementing win-win solutions. For example, in response to the devastating 2020 global COVID 19 epidemic, the ACE Health Foundation XAZA initiative, a collaborative framework, addressed India's disparities in access to essential resources and income loss. The XAZA initiative donated factory space outside of New Delhi, India, provided supplies, developed job opportunities, and produced masks. ACE distributed the masks worldwide to charitable organizations to raise funds for their projects and missions.

  ACE is committed to establishing collaborations and partnerships that embrace a holistic approach. Understanding the value of long-term planning that effectively transforms condition ACE services revitalize the grassroots thought leaders with a cohesive relationship for the communities.
