In response to the recent fires and drought conditions, ACE is relaunching our South Georgia Emergency Disaster Relief Program. Just as we did in 2024 when Hurricane Helene hit, ACE is here to serve businesses across our South Georgia coverage area by providing access to affordable capital, coaching, and connections for entrepreneurs. We understand businesses in our region need additional resources.
