Who we are
Step Forward together e.V. is a Munich-based non-profit organization, founded in 2023, with a mission to support grassroots organizations in emerging economies.
We focus on impactful fundraising campaigns to provide ongoing support for sustainable projects that empower communities and create lasting change.
Many grassroots non-profit organizations in emerging economies struggle to gain the visibility and outreach they need to secure impactful funding. Limited resources often prevent them from preparing strong funding proposals, running international campaigns, or managing complex financial processes like cross-border fund transfers.
Additionally, private individuals supporting small organizations may hesitate to handle international financial transactions due to concerns about transparency and reliability.
Step Forward together e.V. bridges this gap. We provide these essential services for our partner organizations, including:
- Enhancing visibility through targeted social media campaigns and strategic communications.
- Fundraising support with impactful campaigns tailored for grassroots organizations.
- Grant applications to secure funding from major foundations and donors.
- A transparent financial system that ensures trust and accountability in fund management.
Why are we needed?
How do we choose our partners?
We carefully choose our partner organizations in alignment with our statutes. All our partners must be officially recognized as non-profit organizations. Their local initiatives primarily align with key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including:
- SDG 4: Quality Education
- SDG 5: Gender Equality
- SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities
Our partnerships are built on trust and personal connections. We work closely with our local partners to ensure that earmarked funds are used as intended, and we provide transparent reporting to our donors.
By collaborating with organizations that share our mission, we ensure that your contributions create meaningful, measurable impact in the communities we serve.
