Non-Profit

As a member of The Atrisco Companies, Ascend utilizes a non-profit status and business model that can truly focus on the quality of services over profit, ensuring your educational goals have the greatest opportunity to succeed.

Local

We’re here to benefit our community. Ascend Business Services is a member of The Atrisco Companies family, with roots here in New Mexico dating back to the 17th Century. We are a community-based organization in the truest sense.

Aligned Interests

Ascend Business Services and The Atrisco Companies pursue improved educational outcomes as a mission. Our interests are aligned with the charter school movement. We provide services that mitigate risks and scale growth for charter schools.

Cost-Effective

We provide a unique non-profit social enterprise model which, through our own operational efficiency, result in cost savings to your charter school.

What We Do

We are experts in our field, but that’s just the beginning.

The Atrisco Companies (comprised of seven entities) were built on the idea that a solid back office, common to multiple businesses, allowed those non-profit enterprises to flourish. The founders of the non-profits could be optimally focused on their passion, which was the programmatic effort and not necessarily the back office work.
