What is a Tribute Fund?

A Tribute Fund is a special online space where you, your family and friends can take time to remember a loved one by sharing photos, stories and memories, while raising money in their honour which will support the Armed Forces community.

Why create a Tribute Fund?

After someone passes away, creating a Tribute Fund can be a way to celebrate their life while supporting a cause and community they cared about.

Do I need to pay a fee to set up my page?

No. It’s free to create a Tribute Fund page.

Do I need to set a fundraising target?

It’s entirely up to you. Setting a target is optional, although it can be a good way to encourage people to donate.

Can I add Gift Aid to the donations?

Yes. If someone ticks the Gift Aid box when they make a donation, provided they qualify for Gift Aid status, then their gifts will be increased in value by 25%.

Can I add fundraising events to my page?

Yes. Simply click on ‘Create an event in memory’ and follow the step-by-step process. Once your event is created then you can share it with others and invite them to attend. They can even leave comments and share memories.

Do I need an account to donate to someone else's fund?

No, you don't. Just click on the fund you'd like to donate to, and follow the steps to donate.

Is there someone I can talk to directly?

If you have any questions or want to chat through setting up your page, we can help.
