2025 Gala

Invest in Second Chances

Help rewrite the story for families in crisis and students working toward stability and independence.

Corporate giving has the power to create lasting change, especially when guided by vision and partnership. When businesses align their resources with community needs, they not only strengthen local nonprofits but also transform communities.

Corporate Giving With a Purpose

At Step Onward Foundation, we help companies move from one-time gifts to purposeful partnerships. Together, we create giving strategies that align with your values and directly meet urgent community needs. When families face eviction, illness, or crisis, or when students need gap funding and support to continue their education, your support provides the stability they need to survive, and the opportunity to move forward.

Ways to Give Families a Second Chance

Love is Home Gala
