Fightback Funds and Tribute Funds

FIGHTBACK FUNDS and TRIBUTE FUNDS-the difference explained

Fightback Funds and Tribute Funds both provide a ‘focus’ for fundraising, but a Tribute Fund is also designed to:

• Celebrate and remember a specific person’s life, through raising funds and receiving gifts and donations in their name to support the ongoing work of the Association.

• Allow set up during or (more often) after a person’s lifetime.

• Provide special, optional features for honouring or remembering the life of the person after whom the Tribute Fund is named. These include:
  
  • Regular, personalised Tribute Fund Updates for the Fund’s Guardian and each of its supporters (unless otherwise requested).
  • Legacies can be pledged to and recorded in, a Tribute Fund.
  • Fund Anniversary recognition.
  • Each Tribute Fund can have its own website for supporters to visit, leave messages and share memories.
  • Designed and built by the Fund Guardian and / or supporters, these sites offer an online donation facility, extensive colour, theme and design templates to maximise individuality; ability to upload music, video, and photos and much more.
  • An option for a Tribute Fund to appear in a ‘virtual’ tribute garden alongside other Tribute Funds.
  • Upon the request of the Fightback Fund’s creator, or their representative, a Fightback Fund may be converted into a Tribute Fund at any time, with all gift records from the Fightback Fund included in the new Tribute Fund.
