Stepping Stone Support
Helping Families Open Doors to New Opportunities
What is Stepping Stone Support?
At Marietta Community Foundation, we believe every child deserves the chance to explore their interests, grow their skills, and chase their dreams.
That’s why we created the Stepping Stone Support - a grant program that helps families cover extra costs for education, sports, or extracurricular activities.
Stepping Stone Support is designed to help families bridge the gap, so their children don’t have to miss out on valuable opportunities that shape their future and fuel their passions.
