Set up an online Tribute Fund
If you have lost a loved one and wish to commemorate their life through the positive act of fundraising for Make-A-Wish, then you might like to consider creating a Tribute Fund.
A Make-A-Wish Tribute Fund is a unique and lasting way to remember someone special. When you set one up to commemorate the person who has died, it becomes a permanent memorial to them, celebrating their life whilst at the same time helping to grant more magical wishes. Many people set up their Fund to allow donations to a favourite charity such as Make-A-Wish in lieu of flowers at the funeral and then continue the Fund afterwards as people’s thoughts and donations are recorded over time.
A good way to do this is to visit www.muchloved.com, a site which specialises in helping you to set up your own online Tribute Fund. Here you have the opportunity to tell visitors to your page about your loved one, post photographs and invite donations to Make-A-Wish and the vistors in turn can post their own memories and comments, and donate if they wish to.
The Tribute Fund can be used to process direct online donations (via credit card or PayPal) and can also be used to record pledges or offline donations made as cheques or cash.
Make-A-Wish will be informed when you set up your Tribute Fund and you will always see a comment from us saying how sorry we are for your loss and how grateful for any donations.
