The Cornerstone community has given of its time, talents, and resources over the years, and for that we are truly thankful.

We ask that you prayerfully consider joining with us by giving a gift to CCA. With your support we will keep teaching our students how to reach their maximum potential, and train them to be the leaders of tomorrow. We wish to stress that every gift - no matter how large or small - is vital to the ultimate goal of providing more students with a quality Christian education. We invite you to join us in joyful anticipation as we watch God grow this school to His glory.

CCA Annual Fund
The Cornerstone Christian Academy annual fund provides an opportunity for parents, grandparents and friends to offer gifts of support to the school. Tuition at Cornerstone falls short of our operating budget and annual fund dollars fill the gap. These tax-deductible gifts support the academic program with equipment, curricular supplies, and facilities care and upgrades.

We feel God has called Cornerstone Christian Academy to minister to the children in our communities to prepare them to impact the world for Jesus Christ. We take this responsibility seriously and ask you to join us by calling the school today to speak with someone to determine how you can be a part of this ministry.

Planned gifts allow you to make a commitment today that will help Cornerstone Christian Academy continue to fulfill its mission of educating and developing the next generation.

Nine ways you can make a significant impact on Cornerstone's future:

1. Outright Gifts of Cash -  Outright gifts of cash are fully deductible up to 50% of your adjusted gross income if you itemize your tax return.
2. Outright Gifts of Securities -  You can take a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the securities at the time you make your gift and avoid capital gains taxes that would be due if you sold your securities.
3. Outright Gifts of Real Estate - You can take a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the property at the time you make your gift and avoid capital gains taxes that would be due if you sold your real estate.
4. Gifts by Will - There is no impact on your current financial picture since a will has no effect on your estate until you die.  In addition, outright bequests are fully deductible in computing your estate taxes and may reduce the tax burden on your estate.
5. Gifts Through Life Insurance - Gifts of a policy are tax deductible (deduction is usually equal to the cash surrender value), as are any future premium payments. Life insurance gifts are simple. (Your insurance company can provide you the appropriate form to make Cornerstone the owner or beneficiary of a policy.)
6. Gifts through Charitable Gift Annuities - You receive fixed payments for one or two lives (based on your ages when you fund the annuity) and receive an income tax deduction (a large part of each transfer for a gift annuity is treated as a charitable gift).
7. Gifts through Charitable Remainder Trusts - You receive an annual income from the trust at a rate chosen by you (a minimum of 5%). An income deduction is allowed for the value of the charitable remainder, and gift and estate tax deductions are also allowed. You avoid capital gains tax on appreciated assets in the trust.
8. Gifts through Charitable Lead Trusts Which Ultimately Return the Trust Principal to You - You receive an immediate income tax deduction for the present value of the total income payments to Cornerstone. At the end of the trust term, the assets revert back to you.
9. Gifts through Charitable Lead Trusts Which Ultimately Pass the Trust Principal to Loved Ones - You can greatly reduce gift and estate taxes.  At the end of the trust term, the trust principal, and any growth in the trust assets, will pass to children or other loved ones.
