The Steppingstone Foundation: Expanding to New Geographies While Maintaining High-Quality Results

According to the Bridgespan Group (2004):

The Steppingstone Foundation has generated impressive results with students in the Boston area but has had a difficult time exporting its model to another city. Insufficient local fundraising, unclear leadership, and disappointing results plagued the pilot expansion. The organization has scaled back its plans for geographic expansion and is now working to saturate the Boston market and to stabilize its expansion site.
