Steps Of Faith

What Steps Of Faith does

Steps of Faith Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity founded in 2013 and headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas. The organization provides direct financial assistance and access to prosthetic care for uninsured and underinsured amputees in the United States, covering prosthetic limb costs that range from $10,000 to $100,000 per case. It connects approved beneficiaries with a network of prosthetists (including partners such as Hanger Clinic and PROTEOR) who donate clinical time and services, then uses donor funding to procure prosthetic devices at negotiated low prices. The organization reports having helped more than 1,800 amputees regain mobility since inception.

The business model is donation-driven, not transactional. Revenue is generated through individual tax-deductible donations, non-cash gifts processed through Signatry (appreciated stock, mutual funds, real estate, vehicles), branded merchandise sales through a Seen Merch storefront, and third-party fundraising integrations including eBay for Charity and Facebook Fundraisers. A flagship annual fundraising event, Thundergong!, anchors the development calendar. Beneficiaries access services through a downloadable Client Eligibility Application (available in English and Spanish), with distribution handled via the organization website, phone support, and email. Operational scale is intentionally lean: the organization operates with 1–10 employees and is governed by an independent board with no parent entity, outside investors, or PE/VC exposure.

Go-to-market is bilateral: Steps of Faith simultaneously acquires donor supply through multi-channel fundraising (newsletter, social media, events, merchandise, charity marketplaces) and acquires beneficiary demand through referral partnerships with prosthetists and rehabilitation organizations such as Hanger Clinic, Ability KC, and the Amputee Coalition of America. The CEO, Billy Brimblecom Jr., is himself a below-knee amputee who founded the organization after a community-funded prosthetic experience, lending the brand authentic mission credibility.
