When a family plants a tree in memory of a loved one our organization erects a marker near the tree commemorating that gift. Each marker costs the organization about $30.00 so we try to keep enough funds to provide those markers in a timely manner.
Years and recent storms have damaged the old original chimney on the church. We are working to find a reputable company that could repair the chimney to its original and functional state. However, before work can begin, we need someone to come to the church and tell us if the chimney can be repaired or totally torn down and replaced.
In order to improve the grounds around the church we sought a grant for landscaping around the church, a patio out front and a sidewalk to an improved parking area. Unfortunately we were not awarded that grant because we have the term “Cemetery” in our name and we do not have a 501C3 non profit status filed with the IRS. We can easily change our organization name and we have a non profit filed with the state but it is not the correct one. The filing fee for the 501C3 is $600.00. If we could obtain this status we feel confident we could secure the grant for the landscaping, patio and parking.
We are in the process of applying for a grant that would pay for a historical marker in front of the church. The marker costs 3500-$4000. Even if we are approved for this grant, there will be about $500 leftover that we need to pay.
