ANNUAL FUND — DEVELOPING A LIFE-LONG LOVE OF LEARNING

The Annual Fund is Step One’s single most important philanthropic priority.  As a non-profit organization, philanthropic support is crucial to delivering our amazing Step One programs. Tuition makes up about 96% of our budget, and we rely on the budgeted Annual Fund goal to provide half of our Financial Aid budget and the flexible, unrestricted support necessary to deliver the engaging educational experiences that our community values. Gifts to the Annual Fund directly support;

  • Financial Aid: The Annual Fund provides half of the annual Financial Aid we award. 

  • Our teachers and program: The Annual Fund provides funding for professional development for our staff and enhancements to the curriculum.

Thank you for your gift to the Annual Fund. No gift is too small, and every gift makes a difference.
