Every act of giving is a courageous step forward.
When you give to The Courageous Steps Project, you’re not just making a donation—you’re opening doors for children and families who need a little extra support to find their path. Every donation helps provide essential resources for children and families in need. For just $25, you can help supply a school full of supplies for the year. A gift of $50 helps fund sensory resources in local classrooms and enrichment programs. And with $100, you can provide a week of preschool for a child who needs that right start.
Your generosity today creates real change tomorrow!
Gifts to Courageous Steps support nearly a dozen community programs all over Maine and thousands of children....that number is growing everyday.
All gifts are tax deductible.

Gift of Stock
A great way to give to the Courageous Steps Project is a gift of stock. Avoid paying taxes on appreciated value and qualify for an income tax charitable deduction based on today’s market value, when you itemize. If a gift of stock makes sense for you, please contact us at (207) 827-7270 or email [email protected] for account transfer information.
IRA Distribution
IRA owners must be age 70 1/2 or older to make a tax-free charitable contribution. Those who meet the age requirement can transfer up to $100,000 per year directly from an IRA to an eligible charity like Courageous Steps without paying income tax on the transaction. If you are 73 or older, use this transfer to satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD).
Endowments and Planned Giving
Over the years we’ve learned that the work of today may not be the work of tomorrow. We know that our communities will grow and change. When you commit yourself to our endowment funds, you guarantee our ability to respond to the changing landscape of our region. With your help we can build capacity for both present and future needs for years to come. Please reach out to [email protected] or call 207-827-7270 for more information.
Corporate Giving
Businesses and organizations often choose to give beyond a workplace campaign. Gifts can be above and beyond a workplace campaign. Examples include employee matching gifts or gifts from an organization’s Foundation. Corporate gifts can be mailed to our office or you can reach out to [email protected] to get an online link to the gift portal.
