uknight: The Pace Fund

Pace Academy families, for generations, have uknighted—bringing their passion and resources together and shaping the Pace our children experience every day.
Through uknight: The Pace Fund, Pace Academy’s highest priority annual giving opportunity, our Pace family makes a difference every single year—ensuring that the school continues to flourish and to provide an innovative and visionary educational environment to every single Pace student.
Pace Fund dollars provide comprehensive support, enriching the resources we have for our teachers and academics, arts and athletic programs, global leadership initiatives, financial aid and more. Pace alumni are invited to support The Pace Alumni Fund, a branch of The Pace Fund providing direct support to need-based financial aid.
Your support of uknight: The Pace Fund makes a difference! Every gift of every size makes an impact—we need your participation. Please contribute at whatever amount feels right for your family.
We give because Pace is helping us prepare our children to become successful people and make a positive impact on the world.
