Memorial Fundraiser
Help Carry the Weight, Together
Raise support for funeral costs, the family, or a cause that mattered to them, right on the memorial. 95% of every donation goes straight to the family, paid to your bank.
How a memorial fundraiser works
Four simple steps to gather support in the place their memory already lives.
STEP 01
Create the Memorial
Build a free memorial page for your loved one with their story, photos, and a place for family and friends to gather.
STEP 02
Set Up Your Fundraiser
Add a fundraiser to the memorial. Choose a cause, support for the family, funeral costs, or a charitable cause, and tell supporters why it matters.
STEP 03
Verify Payouts
Connect a U.S. bank account through Stripe and complete a quick identity check so donations can be paid out securely to you.
STEP 04
Share and Receive Support
Share the memorial with everyone who loved them. Donations are collected, then paid out to your bank, with 95% reaching the family.
Why families fundraise on MemoriTree
Built for the moment, fair on the fees, and kept in one meaningful place.
95% Goes to the Family
A single combined 5% fee covers payment processing and platform costs. There are no other deductions, so the family keeps 95% of every donation.
Money to Your Bank
Donations are paid out to the organizer's own U.S. bank account through Stripe. The funds reach you directly, not a third party.
No Monthly Fees
No subscriptions, no setup fees, and no surprises. The only cost is the combined 5% per donation. If no one gives, you pay nothing.
Built Into the Memorial
The fundraiser lives right on the memorial page, alongside their story and photos, so supporters can remember and help in the same place.
