Restaurant Fundraising & Donations
At Steve’s, community isn't just a buzzword—it’s the whole point. We’re a small crew with a big heart, and we’ve learned that we can do a lot more good by showing up than by just handing out gift cards. That’s why we focus on hosting high-energy fundraisers. We don't just want to give a donation; we want to give your cause a platform, a crowd, and a damn good meal. Whether you’re on South Grand or out at The District in Chesterfield, we make it easy to raise money for your school, team, or non-profit.Dogs for Dollars Fundraising
At Steve’s, community is our secret sauce. We were built by this city, and we love giving back to the people who make St. Louis rock. Our Dogs for Dollars program isn't your average 'dine and dash' fundraiser. We want you to take over the place! Bring the team, bring the band, or host a happy hour. We provide the vibes (and the smoked hot dogs), and you take home the check."
The Details:
- 15% Giveback: We donate 15% of all qualified dine-in and carryout sales back to your organization.
- Two Great Locations: Choose between our historic South Grand spot (with Ritz Park access) or our massive space at The District in Chesterfield.
- Make it an Event: Unlike other spots, we encourage you to program the space. Got a pep band? A silent auction? A guest bartender? Let’s make it happen.
- All-Inclusive Menu: With the best vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options in STL, every single donor can find something they love.
