How can YOU help?

Right now, this very minute, the lives of hundreds of LGBT San Diegans are threatened by the disease called addiction. You can help save lives today by donating on a level that complements your giving plan. Each program is accompanied by a benefit package and your donation is tax deductable to the full extent allowed by law.
Stepping Stone is an IRS 501©(3) Organization. Tax ID #95-3080619

Where does your contribution go?
Stepping Stone is a good financial steward. 84.7% of Stepping Stone’s expenses are treatment related.

Give to Stepping Stone through the
United Way / CHAD Annual Campaign!
By making a gift to the United Way/Combined Health Agencies Annual Campaign earmarked for Stepping Stone, your gifts are magically multiplied! First, United Way will send your donation directly to us. Then, United Way allocates a portion of their undesignated donations to the member agencies, including Stepping Stone of San Diego! The more donations we receive in this way, the bigger our slice of the undesignated “pie.” This added funding is one of the many benefits of our membership in the Combined Health Agencies, and your gifts help maximize this funding opportunity.

So take a moment, click this link to visit http://www.combinedhealth.org/donatenow.html and be sure to designate your gift to Stepping Stone of San Diego, Inc.

Philantropic Opportunities

Stepping Stone celebrates 35 years of outstanding, evidence based drug and alcohol treatment in 2011. This is a landmark celebration to begin with an Open House at the residential facility on June 4 and an outdoor extravaganza on June 5, 2011. However, government budget cuts have been affecting Stepping Stone’s service provision on all levels. Now 40% of the organization’s operating funds are needed from generous individuals and organizations like yourself/yours.

Our community will be so much stronger with your contribution to the rehabilitation of the men and women around you. Please make a difference. The rewards go way beyond the lasting recognition we provide with our Levels of Giving Program.
