Cornerstone Giving Society
As the foundation on which a whole structure depends, the cornerstone is the most solid, important and carefully constructed component of a building. In the same way, the Cornerstone Giving Society is a pivotal part of the St. Matthew’s House mission.
A house’s cornerstone is the part of the foundation on which the strength of the whole structure depends.
This giving community is the cornerstone of our mission to serve the “least of these” at St. Matthew’s House.
Your gifts through the Cornerstone Giving Society will ensure that St. Matthew’s House is equipped to serve all who come seeking food, shelter, addiction recovery, or help overcoming a variety of other obstacles to self-sufficiency.
Members of this society have made an annual contribution of $1,000 or more to support St. Matthew’s House operations or capital projects; or they have given over $25,000 in their lifetime. They may also have named St. Matthew’s House in their estate plans
Capital campaign project contributions are included in these gift levels.
