Sponsorship
We are committed to ensuring that everyone has access to mental health services when they need them regardless of income. This however, results in a shortfall between revenue obtained from clients and our delivery costs. In order to pay for our costs we fundraise for our Way to Wellness Fund which we use to subsidize costs.
If you are interested in sponsoring a program or an event please contact Sheila Stauffer, Executive Director, at s.stauffer@cornerstonecounselling.com.

Cornerstone has a robust student program that provides practicum students with opportunities to work with adults, couples, and groups. Opportunities to work with teens and children may also be offered, subject to the availability of specialized supervision.

Plan a Fundraiser
Third-party fundraisers and initiatives are a great way to give back to your community and support a charity like Cornerstone Counselling.
What is a third-party fundraising event/initiative?
An event or initiative organized by an individual, community group, or company that is not an official Cornerstone Counselling event. Acting independently and with Cornerstone Counselling’s approval, third-party events are an important resource for raising funds to help us carry out our work of providing affordable, professional counselling.
When you organize a third-party event or initiative, you are not only raising money to support Cornerstone Counselling but you are also raising awareness about Cornerstone in the community and the important work we do. This increase in awareness is an invaluable component to third-party fundraising events.
We ask that all events being held to support Cornerstone Counselling be compatible with our mission, vision, and values.
Third-Party Fundraising Package
To get started, please review Cornerstone Counselling’s Third-Party Fundraising Package.
This will help you understand who we are, what support we can provide to you, and what we require from you for your initiative or event. It reviews the approval process, logo usage, promotions, insurance and liability, sponsorship, volunteers, Cornerstone Counselling representative request, and tax receipt processes. It will also review what support we give to you, the host of the third-party fundraising initiative or event, such as providing logos, messaging, speaking notes, online fundraising platforms, social media and website promotion etc.
If you have any questions or need clarification after you have reviewed the Third-Party Information Kit please email Amanda Morris, Marketing and Communications Manager at a.morris@cornerstonecounselling.com.
