What's the best way to set up a donation fund for someone?

Question

My aunt is a burn victim she really needs help getting meds and transport to the burn center 90 miles away twice a week for treatment. Thanks!

Answer 1

The best way is to contact local churches and ask them to help set up a fundraiser such as a dinner.

Answer 2

Go to your local bank and set up an account first. You want to make sure you set up an account such that she will not have to pay tax on the income.

Look through the resolved answers for YahooAnswers to find many, many suggestions on fundraisers. And make sure you get word out to all of your aunt's distant family and friends regarding the bank account and how to make donations to such.

Answer 3

I DONT KNOW.. BUT THAT SOUND VERY NICE OF YOU..O YA YOU ARE VERY PRETTY JUST THOUGHT I WOULD TELL YOU HAVE A NICE DAY..

Answer 4

Check  the  burn, organizations and institutions, there are all over the world, they are non-profit org, look it up try Google and other on line web sites,  check your local hospital  and American red cross, Good luck. peace out.

Answer 5

Well, what do you truly need in order to make both of these items happen?  If funding is an issue, then you need to get out there to see if you can find funding for your aunt's cause.

There are some truly innovative sites that will allow you to find financial help for your aunt.

1) Your Cause

2) NOZA - This is wonderful if you simply take the time to set up a non-profit organization for your aunt!

If you are looking for immediate support, then there is a burn-recovery website which lists a ton of non-profit organizations which specifically help burn-victims (children & adults).

Get out there and start making phone calls now... Eventually, you will find the support that you need.  Best of luck to you and your aunt...

Answer 6

The answer from Larry looks really good and the suggestion to contact NOZA is on also.  Good luck with this, certainly friends and those in the community will try to help.  Good luck!

Answer 7

Well first you most likely need to make a plan, for that, you will need the assistance of someone or some organization who is experienced in this matter.  

Suggest you ask the burn unit at the hospital for suggestions as they should have a wealth of information for where you and your aunt can go for to get help in this matter.  They could have suggestions for transport as well

I would also suggest an International Bank as people can make donations to your aunt directly at any branch, world wide.  For example, as people here read about your aunt, they may want to contact you by email to give to that fund, so it is in your aunts best interests to contact a International bank and set up a donation fund there.  I feel certain a bank officer should be able to help you with that.  Also you would fare better if you would create a a web page regarding this.  Perhaps a Yahoo Group web page or a GeoCities web page as both are free.  

After that, contact your aunts church, or if she does not belong to a church, then contact one who already does this sort of thing as they will have some experienced people who know how to raise money.  Then you should contact some newspapers and see if they want to run a human interest story about her.  This way you get free advertising plus they can publish your web page info as well as where to send donations.

Good luck and God bless
