Create a Legacy

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.

STUDENT SURVIVAL KITS DRIVE

The needs of our students go beyond tuition. Despite receiving scholarships to access to a 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. Equip Charlotte’s most deserving but under-resourced scholars with necessities to succeed as they pursue higher education. Our students can achieve the greatest heights if they have the resources. Donate items on your own, or as a group or company!

  • Laundry Kit - Laundry soap, hangers, fabric softener, laundry bag, and laundry basket.
