Start a Memorial Fund in Someone’s Name
Turn loss into a legacy that saves lives and inspires dreams.
When someone you love is taken too soon, the grief is overwhelming. One way to honor their life is by creating a memorial fund in their name — a living tribute that transforms heartbreak into hope. Your fund becomes a source of lasting impact, preventing tragedies and empowering young people to change the world.
Why This Matters
Every year, thousands of families lose loved ones to preventable accidents. At Hunter’s Fund, we believe no one should have to endure that pain — and that those we lose should be remembered in a way that makes the world safer.
By starting a memorial fund, you give friends and family a way to contribute to something meaningful in your loved one’s name. Together, we can prevent future tragedies and inspire positive change.
How Your Loved One’s Legacy Can Make an Impact
Your memorial fund can support:
Safe Driving Week at a school — $3,500 covers a full campaign, mobilizing students to pledge not to drive distracted.
A One-Time Named Grant — $5,000 helps a young innovator pursue an idea that can change lives.
Five Years of Grants — $25,000 funds a grant in your loved one’s name for half a decade.
A Permanent Annual Grant — $100,000 ensures their name is honored year after year, forever impacting lives.
Even if your fund starts small, every gift brings us closer to these goals.

— Judy and Jerry Watson, Memorial Fund Organizer
