The organization is supported by an annual event A Walk Through Time held by a 501c3 organization. This event preserves the history and dignity of Forrest Cemetery. Volunteers from the public serve as actors for individuals that are buried in the cemetery and tell stories about the deceased persons life. From this event donations from the general public are received and proceeds are donated to the Forrest Cemetery Foundation Inc to provide funds for maintenance and improvements to the cemetery as needed. Each year additional volunteers are added that portray new personalities. Donations are also received from local governmental entities. Donations to A Walk Through Time event over the last few years has decreased, in part due to COVID 19 due to restrictions and limitations of the public wanting to attend the event. The event was not held in 2020 due to the pandemic. For the 4 tax years immediately before the current tax year, the 10% support test & the attraction of public support requirements were met on an aggregate basis & satisfied a sufficient combination of 5 additional factors discussed as follows:1) % of public support is close to meeting the 33 1/3% test and historically has been complied with 2)Support comes primarily from a 501c3 organization & donations from the general public. The cemetery has a broad base of support from the public 3)Board of directors is made up of a broad cross-section of the views & interests of the community most of which are community leaders 4)Facilities are available to the public.
