Tribute & Memorial Funds
Tribute funds honor those still living, while memorial funds honor those we’ve lost.
Creating a Tribute or Memorial Fund at CCF creates a charitable fund that is named for your loved one and represents his or her passions and interests.
When a loved one passes away, family members and friends often want to create a lasting legacy in honor of his or her life. Making a decision about which charity or charities should receive donations can be a daunting task in the midst of grief. Memorial Funds can be set up quickly, and decisions can be made at a later time, after the family has discussed all options.
Getting Started is Easy
Because of the circumstances, Memorial Funds can be created with a phone call. You can use
cash, stock, or other assets to establish your fund. As a courtesy, we can set up an easy online donation portal so your contributors can make a deposit directly into your fund.

Effective
Because of their nature, Tribute and Memorial Funds can be set up quickly before birthdays, anniversaries, and funerals. Guide family members and friends to donate to your loved one’s Memorial Fund in lieu of sending flowers. These gifts can make a tremendous difference in the lives of others when your family is ready to make decisions about how best to allocate the donations to honor your loved one’s life. You can continue to add funds to a Tribute and Memorial Fund or ask others to send generous donations in the name of your loved one. It can serve a cause or the community for years to come.
Efficient
We handle the administrative tasks of philanthropy, from keeping track of your gifts and grants to sending you quarterly statements of activity, all for a nominal administrative fee. We notify your organization of all gifts made to your Tribute or Memorial Fund.
