We advocate, educate and lead the way to social change. 0 0 324044 5949 Prevention, Education and and Clinical ServicesCornerstone has earned a reputation as a leader in implementing innovative services to assist survivors of interpersonal violence. Since the beginning, the agency has recognized the profound long term effects experiencing abuse has on children. In 1992, Cornerstone began the first comprehensive program for children in Minnesota. Today, our Prevention, Education and Clinical Services program provides services through our school based education services and our mental health clinical services. Components include direct services to parents and youth through individual advocacy and mentorship; youth, adult and family therapy; support groups; parenting education; and youth advocacy and support activities. Our school based education services provided violence education and prevention presentations to over 12,429 students on issues related to domestic violence, sexual assault and bullying. Our clinical mental health program provided individual therapy to 53 adults and children. 851974 47716 Emergency Services Cornerstone's Emergency Services program addresses the need for life saving crisis intervention and safe housing for those in imminent danger of interpersonal violence. Crisis advocates maintain a 24 hour/7 day a week phone line and ensure callers receive the resources they need, including transportation to our shelter. If pets are in need of boarding and safety, we utilize our Protection for Pets Program. Cornerstone's 35-bed Emergency Shelter is a departure from the traditional communal-living model, instead designed with family living spaces, one of which is wheelchair accessible. This allows for privacy, respects cultural diversity and provides a home-like environment in a time of crisis. Having the shelter connected to Cornerstone's comprehensive community-based programming allows families full access to our complete continuum of services for adults and children. When the shelter is full or when shelter is not an appropriate option, Cornerstone partners with local hotels and motels in order to provide immediate safe housing to victims. In 2023, we provided 347 adults and children with safe housing. 1070912 25846 Community and Economic Empowerment Services The Community and Economic Empowerment Services Program focuses specifically on helping victims achieve both safety and long term economic security. The program includes individual economic advocacy, financial literacy, matched savings accounts, employment planning and a variety of group supportive and educational services. All of our CEES Advocates work to help support victims as they deal with the practical problems of living that have resulted from the violence and abuse. Cornerstone's supportive housing component, SAFE (Safely Achieving Full Empowerment), combines two years of affordable housing and intensive supportive services for 35 adults and children. SAFE families receive affordable housing as they work with Cornerstone staff to address their goal plans, participate in job readiness training, and financial empowerment courses. Our housing advocates also work on-site at an affordable housing complex, providing advocacy and resources to low-income families in order to help ensure they are able to maintain their housing. Cornerstone's Rapid Rehousing program served 55 adults and children through the provision of rental and utility assistance, and ongoing supports as they became stabilized. 1152369 400 Day One MinnesotaDay One is a statewide program that operates a 24/7 call center, providing immediate access to safety and services for those affected by domestic violence, sexual assault or human trafficking. Day One maintains a secure and confidential online database allowing victim service agencies the ability to share information about available bed space and services. The Minnesota Day One Crisis Line immediately connects the caller directly to a safe location; annually, over 30,000 victim/survivors or concerned persons were immediately connected to an advocate. Day One also provides transportation for victims to reach safety throughout the state and provides leadership through collective victim service agencies, other professionals and community members to decrease barriers to access. Day One leads four collective initiatives, including a partnership with Communication Services for the Deaf. 1308534 73372 Criminal and Civil Justice Intervention (CCJI)CCJI Advocates function as a liaison between victims and the judicial system in criminal court proceedings as well as at the civil level. Cornerstone also facilitates partnerships in the criminal justice system with local law enforcement agencies, prosecutors and the courts to improve the justice process and protect victims by utilizing a Lethality Screen, increasing offender accountability and developing best practices for law enforcement response to domestic calls. In 2023, we served 2919 victim/survivors in this program. 278578 General Crime ProgramOur General Crime Advocates provide advocacy, resources, outreach and support to those who have experienced any type of crime victimization and administers the State of Minnesota's Crime Victim Emergency Fund. In 2023, we provided emergency funds and/or advocacy to 722 crime victims. 9729 Cornerstone's volunteer program was significantly limited as a result of the pandemic and the restrictions placed on the number of people allowed in the building at any given time. During 2023, individuals and groups contributed 1,473 hours of volunteer service to Cornerstone. Activities included working outside on our grounds, administrative work and research projects. 2749210 73772 4996140 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 16 0 1 127 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 15 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MN X X The Organization 9528840376 1000 E 80th St Bloomington MN 55420 Loren Thacker Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Martha Stutsman Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Cory Bultinck Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Andrew Miller Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Alex Jones Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Lockhart Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Christine Miller Barneson Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Courtney Grimsrud Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Dan Rubin Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Dr LoAnn Heuring Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Heather Saros Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 John Weidner Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Kelsey Brison Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa Wadsen Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Sandy Unger Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Artika Roller Executive Director starting 11/2023 40.00 X 39560 0 0 Meg Schnabel Executive Director through 11/2023 40.00 X 155145 0 12621 194705 0 12621 1 0 1 0 0 79703 5231038 550408 5861149 Rental Revenue 624200 54420 54420 Other 900099 32200 32200 Program Fees 900099 18947 18947 105567 143746 143746 6956 -6956 -6956 -6956 2000 79703 10705 -8705 -8705 6094801 105567 0 128085 47716 47716 207327 160689 31872 14766 3534491 2773219 511757 249515 60253 25409 29111 5733 330965 254893 52574 23498 280858 220447 40890 19521 60000 60000 23453 23453 21600 21600 137452 91851 43550 2051 49226 38125 7217 3884 140716 107991 18262 14463 217870 205325 7631 4914 138534 138430 104 5872 5872 13722 12035 1058 629 145449 128269 10450 6730 43040 35567 5390 2083 Client Security 294304 294304 Miscellaneous 260096 229290 30008 798 Repairs and Maintenance 102771 94471 5121 3179 Translator 67745 67745 72467 64492 6320 1655 6255927 4996140 906368 353419 543357 407454 30877 766995 925534 151776 149694 7109687 3272592 3917920 3837095 4719288 4992839 339624 214574 10469837 10527190 264948 340387 29411 1058521 879096 336637 241450 1689517 1460933 X 8293655 8767554 486665 298703 8780320 9066257 10469837 10527190 -161126 447063 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 5201408 7131784 7154477 4957280 5835864 30280813 5201408 7131784 7154477 4957280 5835864 30280813 30280813 9816 31092 107847 118966 143746 411467 30692280 805448 0.98660 0.98810 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1646911 1646911 4503423 2475076 2028347 847344 687474 159870 112009 110042 1967 3837095 Security Deposits Liability 6696 Opearting Lease Liability 234754 241450 40th Anniversary Luncheon 81703 79703 2000 850 7102 2753 81703 79703 2000 850 7102 2753 10705 -8705 1 Food and housing 382 47716 Cost Food and housing for individuals in the Organization's programs.
