How a memorial gift works

Start at /donate — pick any amount + frequency. Card, ACH, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or PayPal.
Add the memorial info in the donation form's note field: "In memory of [full name]" + the family's address and/or email for the acknowledgment.
Complete the gift. All payment methods support tribute gifts. For mailed checks: write "In memory of [name]" in the memo line.
We send the acknowledgment within 5 business days. The gift amount is NOT disclosed unless you specifically request it. The donor receives a tax-deductible receipt separately.

Tip: For funeral or memorial service timing, email info@warriorsfund.org with the date and we'll expedite the acknowledgment.
