About Us

The Step It Up Foundation was created by Lois and Martin Mandelberg in 2016 to make a substantial positive impact  for those in need, and also create new philanthropists.  This Foundation is a 501(c)3  charity administrated by Fidelity Investments Charitable Giving.  Contributions are tax-deductible to the extend permitted by US law.

Hello.  We are global philanthropic foundation that achieves beneficial results far beyond conventional charitable gifting.  Our vision is to be a disruptive catalyst to change.   We apply innovative approaches and the Foundation's financial resources towards three goals: 

• Promote effective actions that help others significantly improve their own lives, and those of their family.
• Strive to have a meaningful and measurable positive impact on the lives of as many people as possible, and
• Spread the lessons-learned from this foundation as widely as possible so that others might also contribute to similar work.
