memorial fund

Commemorative donation pool

A memorial fund is money collected in honor of someone who has died, typically directed toward a cause they cared about or to support their survivors.

Obituaries often specify where donations should be sent: In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Jane Smith Memorial Fund.

Organizations also establish memorial funds to honor deceased members or benefactors.
