Cornerstone Foundation appears to make a small number of sizable, mission-driven gifts focused on direct services: substantial support for youth camp scholarship access and for a faith-based humanitarian ministry addressing domestic and international needs. Their giving suggests an emphasis on charitable programming (including faith-affiliated work) rather than broad institutional support or many small grants.
Highly concentrated giving: very few large grants (two sizable gifts) rather than many small awards; likely targeted, program-specific funding to organizations aligned with faith-based and youth service priorities.
Cornerstone Foundation’s recent giving is defined by large scholarships that help children and youth attend camp. The single largest grant in the record is $300,000 to Camp Kanesatake in Spruce Creek, Pennsylvania for camp scholarships, alongside another $145,000 award to Grand View Camp in Sellersville, Pennsylvania for the same purpose. That pattern places access to camp at the center of its charitable work, not as a side interest. The foundation also backs faith-based ministry and humanitarian work. In 2025, it gave $200,000 to Operation Renewed Hope in Fayetteville, North Carolina for ministry and domestic and international humanitarian needs, and it supported Biblical Ministries Worldwide in Lawrenceville, Georgia in both 2023 and 2025. These grants point to a funder that favors direct program support, often tied to specific projects or service needs. Other recent awards show the same approach across camps, ministries, and related infrastructure. Grants have supported facilities projects, building work, security-related projects, hurricane relief, and training connected to Latin American outreach. The overall picture is of a foundation making a small number of sizable gifts to organizations serving youth, faith communities, and humanitarian programs.
Camp access appears to be the most consistent theme in the grant record. Cornerstone Foundation gave $150,000 to Camp Loma Devida in Edinburg, Texas for camp scholarships and security-related projects, and $40,000 to Ironwood Camp in Newberry Springs, California for camp scholarships. Faith-based ministry is another clear line of support. In 2025, the foundation awarded $45,000 to Bethany Church in Reading, Pennsylvania for Latin American outreach training, showing interest in ministry preparation as well as direct service. The grants also extend to capital and facilities work. Deer Creek Camp in Kerrville, Texas received $150,000 for a facilities project, while Red Cliff Bible Camp in Pinedale, Wyoming received $124,000 in 2025 for building projects. A separate 2023 grant of $60,000 went to Azteca Nacional Ac in Guadalupe for UCLA, indicating support for a project with an educational or training dimension.
Cornerstone Foundation’s typical grant size is substantial: the 25th percentile is $18,500, the median is $40,900, and the 75th percentile is $85,000. That distribution suggests a grantmaker that usually writes mid-sized checks, with some larger awards above that range. The record shows repeated support to several recipients across multiple years, including Operation Renewed Hope, Grand View Camp, Camp Kanesatake, Camp Chetek, Red Cliff Bible Camp, Biblical Ministries Worldwide, Ironwood Camp, and Abwe. That repetition points to ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards. The foundation is not an individual-giving funder and does not make program-related investments.
