Help Cornerstone Raise $55,000 for Give STL Day

Last year, Cornerstone Ambassadors, anonymous match contributors, and donors raised an incredible $47 thousand through Give STL Day, setting a Cornerstone record for this event and helping Cornerstone place 8th out of over a thousand participating organizations. Each year, our Ambassadors’ work creating this day’s success has an immeasurable impact providing high-quality care and education for our children who have so much potential.

What is Give STL Day?

Give STL Day will take place May 10, 2023.

Give STL Day is a 24-hour, online day-of-giving event, designed to ignite the spirit of giving across the region and support causes in the St. Louis area where we live, work, and play. Since inception in 2014, Give STL Day has raised over $21.5 million for regional nonprofits in St. Louis and surrounding areas.

In the past 3 years, Cornerstone Ambassadors have helped to raise over $107,000 through personal fundraising pages for Give STL Day. This support ensures that at-risk infants, toddlers and preschool-age children receive the strong start needed to enter kindergarten on track with their peers. Meanwhile, parents are able to better their financial situation by attending school or working with the knowledge that their children are nurtured and cared for.

Interested in being a Cornerstone Ambassador for 2023?

By becoming a Cornerstone Ambassador, you are committing to asking 5 or more individuals to make a donation to Cornerstone for Give STL Day. Many Ambassadors choose to do this by creating a Personal Fundraising Page, though it is not a requirement to do so. Instructions for creating a Personal Fundraising Page are below. If you prefer to ask your 5 individuals to donate in some other way on May 10, such as through the donate page of Cornerstone’s website, that works too.

Email dsmith@cornerstonecenterstl.org to sign up!

What is a personal fundraising page?
A personal fundraising page is a way for you to show support for Cornerstone annually during Give STL Day. Create your own fundraiser, set a fundraising goal, and then encourage your network of families, friends, and colleagues to support your favorite organization by sharing your fundraiser’s URL via email, social media, or text.
