The Second Step could not do what we do without our supporters. Providing trauma-informed, survivor-centered services at no cost in our challenging economic climate is no easy task. Our FY15 supporters listed here have made a dramatic and lasting impact in the lives of the survivors we serve. THANK YOU!
Reflecting our long history in the communities of Newton, MetroWest, and Boston, we draw a significant amount of our support from individuals just like you. From $25 recurring monthly donations, to $50,000 pledges and matching gifts, every level of commitment to the programs and services we provide makes a real and lasting impact to the families we serve.
We hold three major fundraising events each year, as well as numerous smaller outreach and education events.
Our major events are Trivia Night in October, Step Up to the Plate in November, and our annual Celebrating Success gala in April. Please follow our Events page for up-to-date info, and for ticket and sponsorship information.
We hold contracts with state and federal funding agencies to provide support for our Residential Programs and Steps to Justice legal services program. This support allows us to provide a consistent baseline of critical services
