Leaving a Legacy for Cornerstone Christian Academy
A planned gift helps ensure that Cornerstone Christian Academy will remain strong and financially secure into the future. It can also bring financial benefits to you and your family. Planned gifts play a vital role in sustaining and strengthening Cornerstone’s mission, and in nurturing the light within every student; today and for generations to come.
By including Cornerstone in your estate plans, you extend your impact beyond the present, helping ensure the school’s ability to serve future classes of students. Planned gifts may be made through a will or trust, by naming Cornerstone as a beneficiary of a retirement account or life insurance policy, or through other legacy-giving arrangements.
As you consider a planned gift to Cornerstone, you may discover:
-
You are able to support Cornerstone in a way that extends well beyond the present moment.
-
You can provide for those you love while also strengthening the school’s future.
-
You can create a legacy that reflects your belief in Cornerstone’s mission and in the potential of its students.
-
You can express gratitude for the education and faith formation that shape the Cornerstone community.
-
You can help ensure that the light nurtured at Cornerstone continues to shine for future generations.
In my experience, Planned Giving conversations are really about love. Love for family, for faith, for children, and for the future. A will gives shape to that love, sparing others uncertainty while ensuring your personal values endure.alex borders, director of institutional advancement
How to Leave Your Legacy
Planned giving allows you to choose what you give, how you give, and when your gift takes effect. Some arrangements cost nothing today, others generate income, and many offer the freedom to decide how your support will be carried forward.
To support our donors and supporters, Cornerstone has partnered with FreeWill, a trusted nonprofit partner that specializes in estate planning. Through this free resource, you can create or update a will that reflects your values and protects the people and causes closest to your heart.
If Cornerstone is already included in your plans, we would be grateful to know, so we may thank you and ensure your intentions are understood and honored.

Making a Lasting Impact
When you make a gift to Cornerstone from your will or trust, you will be inducted into the Cornerstone Legacy Society. You will be joined by others who value our mission to provide academic opportunity for our students now, and well into the future.
Create Your Will and Get Peace of Mind
Cornerstone partners with FreeWill, to guide you through the process of creating a will or trust at no cost. Many supporters use it to document their wishes or prepare before finalizing plans with an attorney.
You may wish to consult your legal and tax advisers to determine the most appropriate approach based on your circumstance.
Beneficiary Designations for IRAs, Pensions, and More
Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? Some such assets require a separate beneficiary designation. Through our trusted partner, FreeWill, you can review these assets and, if you choose, name Cornerstone as a beneficiary of one or more accounts as part of your overall estate plans.
Is Cornerstone Already in Your Planned Giving?
If you have already included Cornerstone in your will, trust, or other estate plans, we would be grateful to know. Through a short, secure form provided by our partner FreeWill, you can share this information so we may thank you and welcome you to the Cornerstone Legacy Society, and ensure that your intentions are understood and honored.
