Welcome to the CornerStone
By joining our CornerStone's annual giving program, your recurring dollars continually invest in long-term, local business growth.
You can sponsor an entrepreneur’s journey from business dream to Academy graduate to a money-making reality.
The first 2 years of business ownership can see booming growth. After graduating from our 10-week program, entrepreneurs gain access to networking opportunities, individual mentorship, and The Academy Invested - our loan program exclusively for graduates of The Academy.
Your annual donation generates two years of impact for your neighbor. This recurring donation is an investment into your community, creating a positive impact not only on our entrepreneurs’ business growth and success, but also on our city as a whole!
