The Alliance for Consumer Education (ACE) was founded in 2000 by a small group of non-profit organizations and household cleaning product manufacturers. The goal was to promote the safety, health, and well-being of children, families and communities wherever household and institutional products are used.

As a result, ACE was incorporated as an independent, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a volunteer Board of Trustees. The ACE mission is “to promote responsible and beneficial use of products to ensure a safer, healthier and cleaner environment in homes, businesses and the community.” Its core program areas are: Inhalant Abuse Prevention, Disease Prevention, Poison Prevention, and Product Management.

Since its inception, the Alliance for Consumer Education has built a foundation of education, credibility, and prominence. The Board of Trustees, drawn from diverse backgrounds, is united in the common goal of educating consumers to improve community health and safety. To achieve its objectives, ACE has the ability to draw on the experience, expertise, and capabilities of the many organizations that comprise the Alliance. ACE continues to build partnerships with public agencies, non-profit organizations, and private sector firms to strengthen the impact of its initiatives. Using experts in the targeted program areas, ACE is developing research-based community outreach to educate individuals and families about the safe use of household products and about the role of these products in public health.
