Its activities are carried out entirely by volunteers, and it also maintains a website with a register of adopters and background information on the soldiers. The foundation is recognised as an ANBI public benefit organisation, and donations may be tax-deductible. It was founded in 2011 and was the first Commonwealth War Graves cemetery where grave adoption was permitted.
