StepUp Durham

Have you met Meg? 💙

Over the past several months, Meg Olhasque stepped into the role of Acting Development Director, helping keep everything moving behind the scenes—from grants and donor relationships to funder partnerships and all the many pieces that make development work possible. We’re incredibly grateful for her dedication, steady leadership, and unwavering support of StepUp Durham.

When StepUp Durham was featured as Nonprofit of the Week by The Triangle Nonprofit & Volunteer Leadership Center last year, Meg shared that she was immediately drawn to the organization because of its radical inclusivity.

She explained:

“Justice involvement, gaps in work history, disability, housing instability—none of those things disqualify you here… when someone expresses a desire to move forward, the answer is simply, ‘Yes, we will walk with you.’”

We couldn’t think of a better way to describe the heart of StepUp Durham.

Thank you, Meg, for all you do and for helping make our mission possible every day. 💙
