CORNERSTONE FUND TO BE MERGED INTO WIF

For decades, Wesleyan Investment Foundation and Cornerstone Fund separately have worked towards a shared mission of helping resource the local church by providing loans to start and strengthen churches so more people can meet, know and follow Jesus.

As many of you know, on November 9, 2021, Cornerstone Fund affiliated with Wesleyan Investment Foundation. The affiliation enabled the Wesleyan Investment Foundation and Cornerstone Fund to resource more churches, serve a larger number of investors, and expand our Kingdom impact as we reach more people for Christ. As the next step in this affiliation, effective May 1, 2022, Cornerstone Fund will be fully merged into Wesleyan Investment Foundation.

As a result of the merger, each Cornerstone Fund investor must make a decision with respect to any investment(s) in Cornerstone Fund. For important information and help making your election, please go to wifonline.com/cornerstone or, if you hold an IRA invested in Cornerstone Fund, wifonline.com/cornerstone/ira.

We look forward to partnering with you to build the Kingdom together!

Most organizations have this role clearly identified and named. However, we’ve found some organization’s may not have a clearly defined board secretary. If this is the case for your organization please identify someone to fulfill that duty and include their name/email in the following fields. If you’re still uncertain you can leave it blank for now. But you will need to complete a board resolution and submit it to us to complete the setup process.
