Major Giving

Annual Circle of Hope
and
Honored Lifetime Major Contributors
 
The Office of Development, in partnership with the Board of Directors, seeks and secures Major Gifts, also known as “stop and think” gifts. Via one-to-one solicitations, private events, and additional mini-campaigns, major gifts are raised to support Step Up on Second’s psychiatric rehabilitation services, peer support and advocacy, and the expansion of permanent supportive housing.
