“We emphasize giving to high quality organizations that not only help people most in need overcome acute problems, but also shift the trajectory of people’s lives to overcome chronic needs and enable sustained change,” shares Steve Alloy. Raised with an ethic of philanthropy, Marjie and Steve Alloy are passionate about opening doors for young people, helping them “gain exposure to the arts and access to improved educational opportunities.” This commitment is what drew them to the Launch the Future campaign, and we are proud to welcome them as Founding Partners.
Steve has spent his career building new homes and communities, which includes working with experts to manage and protect the surrounding habitats. In recognition of this connection, the Alloys will be honored on the Rain Wall in the future Habitat exhibition.*
Thank you, Marjie and Steve, for your inspiring investment in the Northern Virginia Science Center. Though the facility is designed for all ages, it is also our hope that it will, as Steve puts it, “significantly engage young people to have a greater interest in science, which can have a profound impact on their futures”.
