HISTORY
BELOIT, KANSAS
A group of faithful Catholics began exploring ways to address the ongoing and future financial needs of their Catholic community.
United with a passion to perpetuate the Catholic faith for generations to come, they spent hundreds of hours studying Catholic foundations, endowments, and development processes within the U.S.
2003
Articles of incorporation were filed, bylaws adopted, and a board of trustees established.
Cornerstone Charitable Foundation (CCF) was founded as a 501(c)(3) non-profit to operate solely and exclusively as a charitable, scientific, literary and educational organization.
2005
CCF teamed up with with Immaculata Law Firm and Julius Capital, a business/insurance/fundraising services firm, who shared their deep Catholic faith and belief in Catholic education.
​
The goal: ensure that the Catholic faith would thrive for another 100-plus years in Beloit and elsewhere.
2008
2020
CCF has evolved to include several initiatives, along with being a conduit bond issuer for other nonprofit organizations.
​
Cornerstone’s success validates the faith, foresight and fortitude of its founders. Our hope is that by using the CCF model, other Catholic organizations can financially support the faith for generations to come.
