Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Lake View Cemetery Foundation works to ensure that the beauty of Lake View Cemetery's historic buildings, monuments and gardens, will be preserved for future generations to enjoy; and to provide educational outreach programs to benefit and enrich the community

  • Education and Community Events: The Foundation conducts a multitude of educational and community programs and events, such as concerts, holiday celebrations, walking and trolley tours. Please refer to the Lake View Cemetery website (www.lakeviewcemetery.com) for more information.

    Expenses $354,340 · Revenue $43,859

  • Heritage Preservation & Cemetery Enhancements: Capital projects to preserve, improve and enhance the historically and architecturally significant buildings and grounds, including two buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the James A. Garfield Memorial and the Wade Memorial Chapel. Provides access to the general public to the history and beauty of Lake View Cemetery. A capital campaign to provide funding for a significant restoration the Garfield Memorial, as well as other cemetery projects, is concluding.

    Expenses $682,930

  • Horticulture: Lake View Cemetery was recently accredited as a Level II Certified Arboretum as an organizations that serves as a model for sustainable horticultural practices, public education, and urban greenspace. Our 285 acres contain a showcase of trees and shrubbery, cultivated for scientific, ornamental and educational purposes. Lake View is fortunate to steward seven "Moses Cleaveland" trees, which would have been standing when Moses Cleaveland founded the city. Of the original 150 trees identified in 1946, only 77 remain. Now at over 225 years old, these majestic wonders greatly contribute numerous environmental benefits to our community, and as historic landmarks, Lake View acknowledges the great responsibility of continuing to protect them. The Foundation supports the care and protection of older, established trees as well as continued planting of new trees and maintenance of the varied landscape design throughout the property. Support for the tree canopy is part of the overall capital campaign.

    Expenses $239,626

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
