The Cornerstone Family Fund is our school’s yearly giving campaign that supports everything we do beyond what tuition covers. The Cornerstone Family Fund is not just a fundraiser; it’s the cornerstone to building a culture of giving!

The Cornerstone Board of Directors is committed to keeping tuition affordable for families and setting tuition at a rate that covers operating costs such as payroll, utilities, building and grounds maintenance, curriculum, and supplies. The Cornerstone Family Fund allows us to pay for special projects above and beyond the operating budget, as well as provides an opportunity for those who love Cornerstone to give a gift that will advance our mission.

The Cornerstone Family Fund is how our school family comes together to support the mission of Cornerstone Prep to partner with parents to build within their children a firm foundation of academic excellence and Christian discipleship.

The Cornerstone Family Fund is more than a financial goal—it’s a reflection of our community’s shared commitment to Christ-centered education.

Every Family. Every Gift. Every Year.

Strong participation in the Cornerstone Family Fund is vital. It shows that our families, faculty, alumni, and friends believe in the mission and future of Cornerstone Prep. Whether it’s $50 or $5,000, every gift matters, and every donor makes a difference.

Beyond implementation of the projects being funded through the Cornerstone Family Fund, strong participation numbers from our parents make a statement to organizations and foundations with the capacity to give major gifts to the school. In other words, they want to see that those closest to the school believe in our mission before they are willing to get behind it.

Why High Participation Is a Priority:

• Demonstrates Unity: High participation reflects a strong, engaged school community committed to our shared mission.
• Inspires Larger Gifts: Foundations and major donors often look at participation rates when considering grants or large gifts.
• Multiplies Impact: When everyone gives, resources grow, and so does our ability to provide excellent Christian education.
• Builds a Culture of Giving and Biblical Generosity: It teaches our students the value of stewardship, sacrifice, and investing in something bigger than ourselves.

YES! Every gift matters, especially your first one!

At Cornerstone, we believe in the principle of equal sacrifice, not equal giving. That means we don’t expect every family to give the same amount—but we do hope every family will give something. Why? Because when everyone gives, we grow stronger together.

For First-Time Donors, Here’s What You Should Know:

• It’s Not About the Dollar Amount: Whether it’s $25, $100, or more, your first gift makes a difference.
• It’s About Community: Your participation shows that you believe in our mission and are invested in the future of our students.
• It Builds Momentum: High participation from our families encourages others to give and opens doors to larger funding opportunities.
• It Reflects Our Values: Giving is a spiritual act of stewardship and gratitude for all that God is doing through our school.

“For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have.” - 2 Corinthians 8:12 (ESV)

No matter the size of your gift, your willingness to give sends a powerful message of faith, unity, and commitment. Beyond implementation of the projects being supported by the Cornerstone Family Fund, high participation numbers from our parents make a statement to organizations and foundations with the capacity to give major gifts to the school. In other words, they want to see that those closest to the school believe in our mission before they are willing to get behind it.
