What they do
THE YEAR 2020 TURNED OUT to BE A VERY UNUSUAL YEAR, to SAY THE LEAST. STILL, OUR ONLY SERVICE is to PROVIDE for THE CARE and UPKEEP of THE CEMETERY AT HEDEMARKEN LUTHERAN CHURCH. WE ARE A SMALL CONGREGATION SO PHONE CALLS and VIRTUAL MEETINGS DID SUFFICE IN GETTING THE BUSINESS of THE YEAR TAKEN CARE OF. THE TRUSTEES DID GET TOGETHER IN MAY for A CLEANUP DAY. WE PICKED UP BRANCHES and FILLED DIRT WHERE NEEDED, to MAKE SURE THE CEMETERY LOOKS GREAT. IT ONLY TOOK ONE DAY SO ALL OUR TIME WAS DONATED. DUE to THE PANDEMIC, THE CHURCH WAS CLOSED for THE YEAR. FUNERALS WERE HELD AT THE FUNERAL HOME and MEETINGS WERE HELD ELSEWHERE. WE ARE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING CLOSING THE CHURCH for GOOD THIS WINTER AS IT COST 5,057 IN EXPENSES IN 2020. BUT THE CEMETERY is THERE FOREVER.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.
Money in and money out
Reported spending amounts
Mission work means the Form 990 category called program services. These are reported accounting categories—not an independent measurement of results.
