Funding and grants Step Up Savannah recently secured a $50,000 grant over two years as a Neighborhood Champion, signaling strong grant readiness and potential for continued philanthropic or government funding collaborations. This presents an opening for partnerships with grantors, corporate sponsors, or program co-funding opportunities aligned with workforce, wealth building, or policy advocacy initiatives.

City collaborations The organization has active partnerships with local government and civil society (notably the City of Savannah and The Southern Poverty Law Center). This indicates receptivity to co-designed programs and public-private initiatives, offering a channel to propose joint initiatives, data-driven pilots, or expansions of Level Up asset-based development into new neighborhoods.

Asset Based programs With the launch of Level Up and Asset Based Community Development programs, Step Up Savannah shows a focus on practical, community-led development tools. This creates sales opportunities for tech-enabled training, impact measurement platforms, capacity-building services, and local entrepreneurship support solutions that align with their development model.

Policy and tax advocacy Partnerships with policy institutes and involvement in tax policy advocacy (e.g., earned income tax credit initiatives) indicate openness to policy-focused programs and data analytics or campaign support tools. There is potential to offer research, program evaluation, or outreach software to enhance policy impact and stakeholder engagement.

Digital and data needs Current tech stack includes WordPress, Shopify, Google Tag Manager, and analytics tools, suggesting ongoing digital fundraising, donor engagement, and content marketing needs. Opportunities exist to propose CRM, donor management, website optimization, or data visualization solutions to boost fundraising and program visibility.
