Most school districts have an administrator who specializes in grant
writing, and who should know the possible grantors that might be
appropriate. Your principal might know who this would be.
If that approach draws a blank, I know an administrator in a neighboring
county who has successfully obtained grants on behalf of a cemetery project
involving student efforts and preservation. The difference is that the
cemetery is on school property, but otherwise there are similarities.
Email me privately if you need information from the individual outside your
corporation.

Hello,
I've been reading this for awhile now, but this is my
first time posting. I wondered if anyone had any
suggestions or resources for me.
I teach junior high art in southern Hendricks County.
I also like to do cemetery work in my free time
(although with a one year old...not much free time
lately!). I've gotten approval to take some of my 8th
graders to a local pioneer cemetery and do some
cleaning and resetting. Beforehand they will be
listening to guest speakers, doing research on the
families in the cemetery, and typing up all their
findings. At the end we'd like to put that all
together with digital pictures and burn CDs of the
info.
I'm now wondering about funding. Right now we'll just
be using my limited supplies (art teachers don't get
paid much) and digital camera. It'd be nice to get
some money for this community service for our
supplies, maybe some digital cameras for the art
department, and possibly a sign for the cemetery. The
principal would also like me to continue doing this
three times a year with each group of art students.
Anyone have any ideas of people to contact for
support? Grants that could be applied for? Anyone with
special knowledge that would make a great guest
speaker?
It's a township owned cemtery, most burials from
1850-1870, was an old Quaker Friends meeting hall,
structure is now gone, being mowed by the township
trustee but that's it, stones are in really bad shape,
I saw about 100 stones above ground--there's supposed
to be over 200 graves.
Sorry--I know this is long. I just know most of you
have great ideas and contacts!
Thanks!
