Overview

Mission

Cornerstone Magazine Inc. provides a forum, both in the form of a printed magazine or in electronic format through the internet for the exposition of the Bible, its teachings and the spread of the Gospel of Christ, and for providing some publicity of the affairs and activities of independent local churches or assemblies unaffiliated to any central organization.

What it reported doing in 2024

Published and distributed six (6) issues of Cornerstone's bi-monthly magazine to over 3,500 subscribers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
