Foundation
True to our "People Helping People" philosophy, and our mission, "Empowering People to Improve Their Financial Well Being," we are dedicated to helping credit unions make a difference in the lives of the members and communities they serve.
The Cornerstone Foundation receives financial support from credit unions, corporate partners, individuals, Cornerstone League, Cornerstone Resources and grants from other foundations.
