Looking for a great way to make a difference in 2010?  Check out the ideas below:

Year Round Blessings

Help a child throughout the year!   Whether for yourself or in honor of someone special, with  the “Gift of the Month”  we’ll provide a card every month for one year describing how a Cornerstone student is benefiting from your gift.   Experience and share the joy of impacting lives year-round. Gift of the Month begins at  $25/month.

General Donation

Giving a gift where most needed is a great way to provide essential help to some of the D.C. area’s most vulnerable children. Especially during the current economic crisis, your gift to Cornerstone’s general fund allows us to fund the areas of Cornerstone’s greatest needs. Please help us change the lives of D.C. area’s students! General gifts may be of any amount.

Student or Class Partner

Change a life by partnering with a student or even a full classroom!  This gift will go directly toward funding a scholarship to allow a student or classroom to receive a quality, faith-based education and supports the overall mission of the Cornerstone program.  Photo and student or class bio is provided along with the announcement card if done in honor of someone special. Many levels of  Partnerships are available.

Wish List Items

Peruse the many items that our teachers have on their wish-lists.  A donation to the wish-list allows the purchase of much-needed items to enhance the educational experience for our students.   Varying gift amounts available.

For more information on these gift ideas, please contact Candice Santomauro at 202.575.0027.
