Mission
Preservation of historic graveyard
What it reported doing in 2022
Maintenance and preservation of historic grave headstones and landmarks for future generations; maintenance and care of lawn & flowerbeds to present inviting atmosphere.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 67% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
