High-Return Fundraising for Christian Schools

If your school has not conducted a pledge-driven event in the past, partnering with Cornerstone will allow your school to maximize your fundraising 'return-on-investment' by eliminating your learning curve and benefiting from Cornerstone's extensive fundraising knowledge and experience.

On the other hand, if your school already conducts an 'a-thon' type fundraising event, such as a serve-a-thon or walk-a-thon, you will still want to analyze the financial benefit in partnering with Cornerstone. Schools have increased their fundraising results 200% to 500%, or more, simply by following the program!

Examples: 

One small Christian school in southern California conducted their own 'Race for Fitness' for many years and typically raised about $5,000 with 65 students. In the spring of 2009, the school partnered with Cornerstone and was able to raise over $23,000! In fact, the school partnered again with Cornerstone in the spring of 2010 and succeeded in surpassing their 2009 total despite a decrease in their enrollment; 50 students raised over $25,000!
