The Steve Fund
 
 
The Steve Fund has hit the ground running in 2018 with the expansion of our program and service delivery to over 60 partners across the country.  
 
We are beginning to get the first data outputs from our ongoing tech innovations partnerships with Crisis Text Line, Kognito, and Persistence Plus so our research team is also gearing up for analysis. With regards to outreach and communications, we're working to develop a consistent, heart-driven communications style to engage and deepen our relationship with the students, parents, families, and staff/faculty that we serve. 
 
Check out our most recent newsletter, which outlines our Minority Health Month campaign focused on the Power of Self Care.
