Tribute Funds are an online memorial page where you can celebrate someone special, while raising money to fund MND research and support for the MND community.
You can personalise your Tribute Fund with stories and photos of your loved one and set up fundraising events. Friends and family can leave messages of support and dedicate donations to their memory.

FAQs
Can I link historic donations to my Tribute Fund?
When you set up a Tribute Fund, we will automatically link all historic donations or fundraising in your name to your loved one's Tribute Fund on our records.
We will inform you of this amount in your Tribute Fund welcome pack, which you will receive in the post. You can then add this amount to your Tribute Fund page as an offline donation or by linking previous JustGiving pages.
Follow our step-by-step video on adding offline donations here.
Can I add fundraising events to my Tribute Fund?
Yes. You, your family, and friends can set up event pages on your Tribute Fund page, or link existing JustGiving or Facebook events. All you need to do is click ‘Add your event’ on the events page, and you will be asked what type of event you would like to add.
- Add a new event: To create an event page on your Tribute Fund, where supporters can donate directly to your Tribute Fund page for the event.
- Link to a JustGiving page: Link to an existing JustGiving fundraising page. By linking to your Tribute Fund, all donations and their messages will automatically appear on the Tribute Fund page and in your fundraising total.
- Link to an existing fundraising page: Add a URL to any other fundraising page, such as Facebook, where supporters will be redirected to make their donation. Linking this type of fundraising page will not automatically add the donations to the Tribute Fund page; they can be added as offline donations.
Some loved ones would like to support, but don’t want to donate online; how can they donate?
Donations can be made over the phone at 01604 611860 or by sending a cheque to:
Motor Neurone Disease Association
Francis Crick House
6 Summerhouse Road
Moulton Park
Northampton
NN3 6BJ
They should share who their donation is in memory of, either by telling our team over the phone or including a cover letter if sending by post, so that it can be linked to your Tribute fund.
Is there another way I can celebrate a loved one without opening a Tribute Fund?
If now isn’t the right time to open a Tribute Fund in memory of your loved one, there are other ways you can celebrate their life and everything they meant to you:
-
Make a single donation in memory of someone special.
-
Use our collection envelopes at a funeral, memorial, or celebration of life.
-
Leave a dedication on our Memory Wall to remember someone special.
