Just as a cornerstone provides strength, stability, and alignment to the structure it supports, we honor the bold leaders whose remarkable generosity upholds and shapes every facet of our work.

The 1884 Cornerstone Society is Children & Families First's most distinguished fellowship. It's members are the highly respected individuals and families whose bold leadership and generosity deserve recognition as the cornerstone of our mission and work.
In 1884, members of our community came together, laying the foundation for the organization we have become today - and beginning a legacy of caring individuals working together, dedicated to improving the lives of children and families.
Today, our ability to adapt, innovate, and continuously improve our practices to meet the evolving needs of those we serve is upheld by these respected philanthropic leaders who give annual support of $1884 or more.
