Cornerstone Pregnancy Services
Welcome! Here is our Cornerstone FAQs page. This list includes some of our most asked questions about donations and volunteering. Check out the list here:
1. Are donations tax-deductible?
Yes!
As a 501c3 non-profit, all donations given to Cornerstone are tax deductible. If asked, our center can give you a receipt with your donations. However, we always encourage you to check with an accountant first to make sure your donation can be written off as tax-free.
2. Do you receive government funding?
Yes.
As a free medical clinic, we do receive some government funding. However, we rely on donations from individuals, groups, and churches that believe what we are doing is important to our community. We have people who support us annually, monthly, one-time, or through fundraisers. We’re always looking for more people to invest in the lives of the women and families who come to our centers looking for help.
3. Do you take used donations?
Sometimes. We want all the items we offer to the women in our facility to be the best quality possible. For that reason, we do not accept items that aren’t excellent quality. Gently used items such as clothes, cribs, and books make wonderful donations. For the safety of our clients and their children, we do not accept these used items:
- Used breast pumps
- Diaper pails
- Stuffed animals
- Crib bumpers
- Used shoes
- Used bottles or pacifiers
- Walkers with wheels
- Items that are expired or overly worn or in ill repair
4. Which item do you need the most?
Our number one needed item is diapers. Mothers go through this faster than almost anything else. All sizes are useful, including the larger sizes 3, 4, 5 or 6. We hand these out regularly to moms in our programs. Your help matters more than you know!
- Formula (Gerber is most requested brand)
- Wipes
- New and gently used baby clothes up to size 2T
- Furnishings such as crib, carseat, stroller, high chair
- Baby toiletries such as wash, shampoo, lotion
- Bottles and pacifiers
- Small toys (like rattles or teething rings)
- Bibs, socks, booties
