The Cornerstone Society recognizes alumni and friends of Concord University who make gifts in total of $1,000 or more to the institution.

Supporting the mission and vision of the university through giving financially is a generous act of philanthropy that ensures the Mountain Lion community has access to opportunities and that our students may continue to reach new heights.

The four pillars of The Cornerstone Society are comprised of qualities that the Mountain Lion community embraces and instills in our students today:

  • $1,000 – $2,499: Cornerstone of Service
  • $2,500 – $4,999: Cornerstone of Community
  • $5,000 – $9,999: Cornerstone of Enlightenment
  • $10,000+ : Cornerstone of Leadership

Cornerstone Society membership is based on dollars received during the fiscal year of July 1 – June 30.
Gifts that are made to any area of the university qualify and giving is based on the total dollars contributed over the course of the fiscal year.
