Donate

NOTE: Givebutter is a fundraising platform which offers non-profit organizations a free suite of tools that includes payment processing.  You will see a box suggesting that you add a small tip to Givebutter to support such free access to their platform, which is a much needed cost savings

to STEP VA. If you would like to leave a tip, use the up/down arrows to select the amount of your tip: $2, $1, or Other (your customized

choice from $0 and above). This is not required to make a donation.

When entering your donation, you will also have the option to cover the standard credit card processing fee (currently 6.1%)

so STEP VA will receive 100% of the donation.

Thank you for choosing to donate to STEPVA!

The Lily Fund

The Lily Fund

We are proud to announce the establishment of a scholarship fund in honor and memory of a very special little girl named Lily Noakes! . Lily participated in our 2014 Summer Arts Camp: she was quiet and shy but danced and said her lines, ; a tiny girl who stepped up big and bold when it was time to take center stage. Lily was just like all of our special kids, except that she had cancer. Lily’s fight ended on January 23, 2015.

 

Lily Funds will be used to provide scholarships to allow deserving people with disabilities to participate in our programs.

 

To donate: Please use our donation link above and select “Lily Fund” for “Apply my donation to….” You can also donate by sending a check (made out to “STEP VA, Inc. – Attn: Lily Fund”) to P.O. Box 42154, Fredericksburg, VA 22404.

 

Thank you for helping us to remember and honor this special camper who made a difference to STEP VA.
