How Does A Memorial Fund Work?

The fund is set up to bear the name of your loved one and exist in perpetuity, providing a permanent source of funding to one or more charitable organizations or areas of interest that are meaningful to you. Scholarship Funds can also be established as memorials. You can start a fund with as little as $10,000 and add to it any time, using a variety of assets or contributing through your own estate planning.

A Memorial Fund is typically created as an Open Fund to accept contributions of any size once the fund is established. With your permission, we will include the Memorial Fund on our website, making it available for family and friends to make online gifts, if desired. Gifts made to the fund are tax-deductible, and we acknowledge all gifts, keeping you apprised of the names of individuals who have contributed.
