About Us
A Simpler Way to Help a Grieving Family
Memorial Fund was built after our family lost my brother suddenly. We needed one place for people's generosity. It had to be simple to set up and easy to share, with nothing standing between a gift and the people it was meant for. We couldn't find it, so we built it.
Sam Farrington, CFP®Founder, Memorial Fund
What We Believe
- No goals. Grief is not a fundraising target. People give what they want.
- Straight to the family. Gifts go directly to the bank account the family chooses. We never hold the money.
- Clear, simple fees. Card processing plus a 1% platform fee, shown before every gift. No surprise tips.
- Easy when nothing else is. A family should be able to set up a page in minutes, on a phone, on the worst week of their lives.
Who We Are
Memorial Fund was founded by Sam Farrington, a Certified Financial Planner. Years of helping families with money showed him how often a sudden loss leaves a family scrambling. Memorial Fund is one small way to make that week a little easier.
