Nonprofit Investment Policy Review and Staff Training

Cornerstone reviewed all policies and identified growth opportunities within the Planned Giving department.  Later, Cornerstone became involved in the significant cash management program for a well-established Mission-Sending Organization.

Upon review of the organization’s policies, Cornerstone identified planned giving as a key growth factor and worked directly with the organization’s management team and Investment Committee chair to provide training and support to key staff.
