Most grants require a 501 (c) (3) status to be awarded. Never have
applied for one for cemetery restoration.

Re; Kyle, there has been a fund set up this year to help. Thanks for that
tip.
I have another question to the list. I know some of you have had luck
with grants. I have never worked on them. We have new class starting at
Purdue this fall and they want to work on grants to help with restoration of
Greenbush in Lafayette. I'm guessing here, but there are still about 10 to
12 big trees that need to come out yet.
We have had a good year at Greenbush, starting the beginning of
restoration and getting Schools involved. Several different groups have come
to
help with making Greenbush better. I really enjoy the Community
connections.
This Saturday we will be attending a fundraiser that has already sold out
to help next years expenses. Take a look at the video on her site.

The cemetery which I am president of is teetering on having to be turned
over to the township. We have set up a fund at our community
foundation
for
people to be able to bequeath money to us in their estate planning.
We
haven't done any promotion of this yet but I hope to work on that this
winter. We rely on burial sales to fund us and the trustee already
provides a
majority of the funding for the mowing and insurance (I discovered
that
in
1925 when the cemetery was added on to and a new board formed, the
trustee
didn't deed the old section to the new board, so she can legally
help us
with
these expenses) Our next step may be to disband the board and let
the
township handle the operation if we don't see an infusion of funds
relatively
soon.
See if your community foundation can be of any help, L.A.

Thank you for all the responses. I have a ton of bounced emails.
There is a Purdue writing class that was created this month. They are
exploring the problems and what it takes to own a cemetery. We have
had two
in Tippecanoe County recently that were turned to the Township
trustees.
I知 excited by the on in Lafayette. The Trustee has taken the
restoration workshops and is seeking ideas and help from the community
to donate
time
and tools. And we are receiving good feedback.
The biggest problem we have at Greenbush is the trees that have been
neglected for about 50 years.
The other one is ground hogs.
Then there is financing. Mowing is about 750.00 per week. She also
has
a freeze on her tax rate.
I would like to hear your thoughts on problem solving ideas.
