Please provide as much information as possible, as it will help our committee make an informed decision in a timely manner.  Step Onward is a 501c3 non-profit organization and receives grants and donations to support our programs, and as such, we are required to report demographic information on all individuals we serve. Step Onward does NOT use this information to determine eligibility for services, nor do we discriminate based on age, race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or genetic information.

Step Onward partners with Social Workers and other collaborative partners to fund our recipients, so we require forms to be completed by both our recipients and social workers or other partners.

PRELIMINARY FUNDING REQUEST     To be completed by your social worker.  This short initial request lets us know the need.

If funding is still open that month, applicants may then be asked to complete a full application.  In that case, the following 2 forms will need to be completed:

REFERRAL FORM   To be completed by your social worker.

FUNDING REQUEST  To be completed by our potential recipients.

Thank you for your application to Step Onward Foundation.  Additional information may be requested upon review, but we will notify you regarding your request as soon as possible. If funding is approved, we make payments directly to the vendor owed. We do not fund our recipients directly.
