The Steppingstone Foundation continues its mission of change, helping kids from traditionally marginalized communities access a quality college education. Thank you for your support. It’s making a difference.
From Isabelle Loring, Board Chair
The past few years have laid an incredible foundation for Steppingstone’s future. We received our first endowment gift, had two record-breaking Galas, and raised significant funds in honor of two people who were instrumental in making Steppingstone what it is today: co-founder Michael Danziger and long-time Board Chair Brian Conway. I stepped into the role of Board Chair in September 2018 and am honored and excited to lead this organization as we explore its future. This past year has been a time of program evaluation and strategic planning. We have taken the opportunity to connect deeply with our mission and to ensure our impact continues to be meaningful. This report gives us a moment to pause and to appreciate all the people who make Steppingstone happen: Scholars and families. Our amazing staff and faculty. Our four Boards and volunteers. And you. There would be no Steppingstone without your belief in our ability to carry out our mission. With you, we work with over 1,600 students every year—and make sure they get the chance to thrive. With you, we work with Boston public schools and independent schools to prepare these students for educational achievement. With you, we have grown, adapted, and shared our approach to make a difference here in Boston and nationally. Thank you for all that you make possible. And please, don’t stop. There’s still a lot of work for us to do.

What you are funding makes a difference because it is different.
Early, often, for the long haul
We intervene early—in 5th and 6th grade—and help Scholars find the middle and high schools that will best fit their needs. What’s more, starting early allows us to build a foundation of trust with young people and their families. Getting into college is not the “end game.” Our commitment is to the long-term success of Scholars. We are there for their transitions and growth through middle school, high school, college, and beyond. Our support is 360 degrees: academic, social, emotional—because so much happens during these transitions and in these new environments. Your generosity makes this possible for 1,600 Scholars each year. Thank you.

The 2017 Gala
In one night, we raised more than 20% of our budget and honored outgoing Board Chair Brian Conway for his longtime commitment to Steppingstone. We gathered to celebrate Scholars and their supporters: Steppingstone donors, staff, and Scholars’ families. It was a night to remember and we’re grateful to all who made it so successful.
