Have Your Monthly Gift Doubled for a Whole Year!

For a limited time, every new monthly donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar for the first 12 months.* Through your monthly support, StepStones will provide housing stability, education and employment support, mental health counselling, and other essential programs, while advancing the construction of our innovative hub and housing facility.

Why Monthly Giving Matters

A steady monthly gift helps young people stay housed, remain connected to school and work, access counselling, and build dependable relationships that can be there through change and uncertainty.

With the 12-month donor match, your monthly gift goes twice as far during your first year of giving. A $25 monthly gift becomes $50 each month, a $50 monthly gift becomes $100 each month, and a $100 monthly gift becomes $200 each month to support youth from foster care and help build Canada’s first integrated hub and housing facility designed specifically for them.

Where Your Donation Goes

StepStones Values Your Money

The people and resources that support our work behind the scenes are vital to helping young people thrive. While these operational functions are essential, we continually strive to minimize administrative costs so that as much funding as possible can be invested directly in programs, opportunities, and supports for youth. Here’s what your support makes possible:

$350

Donate Today

^{*All new and existing monthly donations made during the campaign period are eligible to be matched dollar-for-dollar for up to 12 consecutive months from the donor’s enrollment date. Matching funds are provided by a generous campaign sponsor and are subject to a maximum aggregate matching contribution of $5,000 across all participating donors. Once the total matching pool of $5,000 has been exhausted, monthly donations will continue to be processed but will no longer be matched. Matching contributions will be applied on a first-come, first-served basis. StepStones for Youth reserves the right to modify or end the campaign at any time. Tax receipts will be issued for donors’ contributions only; matching gifts are not eligible for additional tax receipts.}
