We need your donations to continue our work. If you would like to
make a tax deductible donation, you may send it to North Texas
Cemetery Preservation, PO Box 292742, Lewisville, TX 75029. Your
cash or check donations can really help.
Of course with gas prices as high as they are, this has become a
major expense, along with the storage of our equipment.
$50 can provide 10 pairs of work gloves for
volunteers, 2 long pry bars, 3 rakes, 3 shovels, 3 hand
pruning saws, or bedding plants for a project site.
$100 can provide a year's supply of trash bags, an edger
attachment for a weed trimmer, or 1/2 of our needed hand tools
$200 can provide a lawn mower, trimmer, or a chain saw for
tree trimming
$500 can provide a ground tiller or enough concrete for leveling
10-15 headstones (depending on the size).
$1000-$1500 can provide enough equipment to conduct the
preservation and maintenance of 2 small cemeteries for an
entire year, or longer
Of course, any equipment donated would be greatly
appreciated as well as volunteer hours.
If you are more interested in assisting with the
preservation of a cemetery's history through marker identification,
then your donation can be earmarked for Texas Historical Medallions
and plaques. Our goal is to provide, not only the maintenance of
Texas' Historic Cemeteries, but also provide at least 1 Texas
Historic Medallion with name plaque for every cemetery we work
with. The cost are as follows:
Medallion only, with
post
$400.00
Medallion and 12"X6" name and date plaque with
post
$650.00
Medallion and 16"X12" Interpretive plaques with
post
$750.00
Medallion and 16"X24" Interpretive plaque with
post $950.00
(These prices are found on the Texas Historical Commission's
website on the "Official Texas Historical Marker Application
Form".)
All volunteers will be given a brief history of the project
cemetery, with encouragement to conduct further research. Any
volunteer may discover the needed history to designate a
cemetery with a Texas Historical Medallion. They may even
discover personal ancestry.
As you can see your donations can go a long way in
preserving our past, while investing in our future.
