Create a Legacy

As you plan your charitable giving, please consider the benefits of a legacy donation. A contribution to Greater Steps Scholars will provide income, estate, and capital gains tax advantages for you and, at the same time, afford the youth of our community opportunity to achieve a college education that for many is only a dream.

DORM ROOM & SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE

Our goal is to equip Charlotte’s most under-resourced but deserving scholars with the necessities to succeed as they pursue higher education.

Despite receiving scholarships to access postsecondary education, many Greater Steps Scholars can’t sustain enrollment due to a lack of tools needed to succeed, including school supplies, bedding, and other basic toiletries - everything that a college student living in a dorm would need. Our students can achieve the greatest heights if they have the resources.
