In November 2025, PACE released a new strategic plan alongside a refreshed brand identity to reflect the organization’s evolution and aspirations.
The refreshed logo visually conveys PACE’s commitment to convening a broad set of funders for shared learning, dialogue, and action. Specifically, the converging lines and colors represent the richness and diversity of the PACE community. The prominent “P” puts the emphasis on philanthropy, while the shape at the center symbolizes a shared space for connection and dialogue. The expansive swoosh evokes PACE’s “big tent” ethos—welcoming national, regional, and place-based funders across ideological, geographic, generational, and sectoral differences to collaborate in renewing American democracy.
PACE is a community of funders working together to strengthen American democracy through active civic participation. We learn with purpose, collaborate across differences, and experiment boldly to advance freedom, fairness, and belonging for all.
PACE funders believe democracy flourishes when people are empowered, engaged, and united in pursuit of the common good.
We strive for a future where all Americans feel connected, take responsibility for protecting and regenerating democracy, and contribute to the health of our country and the vitality of our communities.

PACE would like to thank Cameron Blossom, our graphic designer, for bringing this new brand identity to life. We also appreciate the many partners and friends who gave advice and feedback during the design process.
