Giving Tuesday is on December 3rd, 2024. Founded in 2012, Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving that takes place the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.
Please donate any amount to our 2024 Giving Tuesday campaign to help match a $15,000 gift from a friend of Next Step for a total of $30,000. The money raised will help us increase the number of one-on-one sessions between a seriously ill young person and a Next Step music therapist in our music program by three times in 2025.
You can triple your impact in one day by supporting our 2024 Giving Tuesday campaign. Your support will provide a safe space for seriously ill teens and young adults to practice using their voice and learn self-advocacy skills that will help them at school, work, in their social life or at an intimidating doctor’s appointment.

“I couldn’t imagine me making a song, but we managed to put it together. And listening to it was like, ‘holy crap, I did that and I have a personal song that is mine!”
