Let's Make a Difference Together!
You’ve signed up for Steps for Kids – now what? Let’s get started!
Kick Things Off with a Donation! Be the first to give – your donation will inspire others to follow your lead! Share why children’s mental health matters to you and watch your support grow. The earlier you start, the more time you have to rally your friends and family.
Optimize Your Fundraising Page Before reaching out, make sure your page is ready to shine! Upload a great photo and choose a fun, action-packed name like “Step Up for Kids!” Set a goal that challenges you and motivates others to join in!
Start Close to Home Ask your family and close friends to donate first. A strong start from your inner circle will build momentum. Don’t forget to reach out to coworkers and acquaintances – every share helps spread the word to more people who might not know about your cause!

Amplify with Social Media Use social media to reach even more people! Post on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to get the word out. Tag your supporters to show your appreciation and keep the energy high. Always include the link to your fundraising page so donations are just a click away.
Show the Impact of Every Donation Let your supporters know how their donations help! Here’s how their support can make a difference:
- $25 provides pajamas for a youth arriving at Safe Haven Youth Services with nothing but the clothes on their back.
- $300 covers a two-night stay at Safe Haven.
- $500 funds a week of healthy lunches for kids in our school program.
- $1000 provides a child access to specialized mental health treatment.
Follow Up & Keep the Momentum Going! Stay connected with your supporters through texts and social media updates. Let them know how close you are to your goal and keep the excitement building!
Say Thanks, and Keep Sharing Your Progress Thank your donors often, and keep them updated on your progress. Every donation, no matter the size, brings you one step closer to making a big impact!
Have Fun with It! Fundraising isn’t just about reaching a goal – it’s about connecting, making memories, and celebrating every win along the way. Enjoy the journey, and remember: Together, our little steps will make a big impact!
