Capital Campaign Purpose:
STEP successfully closed out their first ever Capacity Building Campaign in FY2026. Through this campaign, STEP has expanded their staff by adding four new full-time employees, increased their Financial Wellness Counseling Program pool of funds, and purchased a 15,000+ Sq. Ft. Headquarters Building.
Purchasing the building is intentional as it will alleviate approximately $300,000 in rental expenses annually. With a larger building, STEP will double the number of families served, allowing the organization to touch more lives annually through expanded programs and services, including collaborative distribution events.
STEP will also grow their team to meet the escalating demand for our services, ensuring that no one is turned away when they are ready to embrace their change moment during, and what could be their last, financial crisis. Staff is currently at maximum capacity, serving 1,070 cases annually. The addition of two new Social Worker positions will allow us to serve 50 more clients monthly, an average of 600 more families annually.
Campaign Goal: $6,500,000
Capital Campaign Start Date: November 1, 2022
Capital Campaign End Date: June 30, 2026
Capital Campaign Raised-to-Date Amount: $6,500,000
