Your gift supports alumni-led work with ChalleNGe alumni and young people from other at-risk youth programs. Our current work is rooted in New Mexico; expansion follows resources and relationships.
Purpose-specific scholarships for approved supplies, equipment, fees, and credentials.
Mentoring, resource referrals, continued follow-up, and alumni leadership development.
Reviewed assistance tied to a documented need. Eligibility, approval, available funds, and donor restrictions apply; no gift guarantees an individual outcome.
For the 2026 tax year, people who take the standard deduction may deduct qualifying cash donations to eligible charities: up to $1,000, or $2,000 for married couples filing jointly. This is a deduction from taxable income—not a dollar-for-dollar tax credit. Eligibility rules and donation records apply. Donations to donor-advised funds and supporting organizations, and noncash gifts, do not qualify for this specific deduction. Consult your tax advisor about your circumstances. General information only; not tax, legal, or financial advice. Last reviewed October 2, 2026.
Online gifts use Cornerstone’s existing Zeffy form. General donations are not automatically earmarked for the proposed Alumni Success Fund. Contact us before giving if you wish to discuss sponsorship or a designation. We are a 501(c)(3) public charity, EIN 42-2704950. Board review, documentation, and purpose-specific approvals guide assistance. Recipient instructions are available under Programs—not hidden in the donation process.
