The Annual Fund

THE ANNUAL FUND FOR FINANCIAL AID

Step One is a vibrant, inclusive community where parents, alumni, board members, and friends come together to support our children and staff. By sharing time, talents, and resources, we strengthen the school’s mission to nurture a love of life and learning. One of the most impactful ways we do this is through the Annual Fund.

As a nonprofit, Step One relies on philanthropic support to maintain our financial health and long-term sustainability.  100% of the money raised in the Annual Fund goes toward the school’s Financial Aid program, advancing our commitment to economic diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.

Our goal is 100% community participation. We know that each family is unique, and every gift of every size makes a difference!
