CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments


First Steps has evolved over its long history from an almost fully governmentally funded entity to a nonprofit with a mission. The financial basis of the organization has shifted from government funding to a need to raise funds through special events, grants, foundations, and private/corporate contributions. The Board and staff have worked diligently to position the Agency so that current as well as potential funders understand the impact of their dollars that go directly to the quality programs they support.
