Setting up a tribute fund
A tribute fund is a comforting place where you can share your special memories, as well as collecting donations for Macmillan in memory of your loved one.
On a tribute page you can add stories, leave gifts, load music, share funeral details and fundraise for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Accessing an existing tribute fund (set up before 16 September 2024)
To donate, leave a message or share your fond memories on an existing tribute fund, just search for it on the tribute fund website.
Setting up your tribute fund is easy
Creating a tribute fund is a free and simple way to celebrate your loved one’s life and everything that made them unique while also supporting Macmillan.
Thanks to you and your loved one, any money raised will mean we can keep doing whatever it takes for those living with cancer.

Continue their story through fundraising
Just like your special memories of your loved one, your tribute fund page will be here for years to come. You might choose to have a funeral collection, mark significant dates or special occasions with friends and family members by revisiting your tribute fund, or creating an event to continue to raise funds.
You can create an event page that directly links to your tribute fund page, so all of your in-memory activity stays next to your loved one’s memories. Whether you are hosting a coffee morning, taking on a challenge event or doing something completely unique in the name of the person you are remembering, everything is safely recorded and displayed on your tribute fund.
