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’ desire, which continues through our current team, is to bring independent, unbiased expertise to nonprofits for these important, challenging functions.

The turnkey integration of investment consulting and planned gift administration services provides efficiencies that benefit both 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 trust and pools of assets for which the ministry has responsibility. We seek to provide support to development officers and to enhance 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, and 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 the mission of our clients, which means we seek to provide our planned gift administration services in the most affordable manner possible to maximize their institutional resources.
