Christian Nonprofit Planned Giving Administration

Cornerstone was founded in 1991 by several professionals seeking to provide investment consulting and planned giving administration services to the Christian nonprofit community. The founders' vision, carried on by our current team, is to provide nonprofits with independent, unbiased expertise for these crucial and challenging functions.

The turnkey integration of investment consulting and planned gift administration services provides efficiencies that benefit our clients and their donors.

Our Support for Advancement / Development Teams

Our primary goal as planned giving and asset management consultants is to utilize our expertise and years of successful experience to enhance expected returns to the various trusts and pools of assets for which the ministry has responsibility. We seek to support development officers and improve their relationship with their donors by providing accurate and timely reporting and tax return preparation. We understand estate and gift tax law, income tax law, various planned giving techniques, and how to integrate these concepts with your donors’ goals. And we seek to help our clients assist the individual donor with his/her planned giving goals. Finally, our team believes in our clients' missions and is committed to delivering planned gift administration services in a cost-effective way to maximize their institutional resources.
