Leave a Lasting Legacy
Empower Our Community Through Planned Giving

Together, we can create a brighter tomorrow for STEP

Planned giving allows you to contribute to STEP in a manner that aligns with your values while also providing financial benefits for you and your loved ones. Leave a lasting legacy that makes a significant difference in the lives of those we serve.

There are various options available, each offering unique advantages tailored to your philanthropic goals. Planned giving can provide benefits such as income tax deductions, reduced capital gains taxes, and the satisfaction of knowing you're making a long-term impact.

We invite you to explore these options and consider joining our Legacy Society, a special group of donors who have committed to supporting our mission through planned gifts. Your generosity will be acknowledged and celebrated, inspiring others to follow your example.

Common Legacy Gift Options

• Retirement plan assets
  Qualified retirement plan assets are popular planned gift vehicles due to the unique tax advantages they present and the ease with which a donor can update disbursement instructions.

• Life insurance gifts
  In addition to ensuring the financial well-being of your loved ones, a life insurance policy is a powerful philanthropic tool for you and STEP. Moreover, the gift arrangement can often be made with little or no additional long-term costs to you.

• Include STEP in your will or trust
  Gifts from a will or living trust are among the most common and most impactful planned gifts.

• Make a gift and receive income
  If you’ve ever wanted to make a significant gift to STEP but didn’t want to sacrifice potential income from the gifted assets, a life income gift may be right for you.
