In tribute
Give in honor or in memory
Mark a birthday, a wedding, or the memory of someone you love with a gift to our programs. We tell the person or family you name with a card or an email, and never show the amount.
Tribute gifts
Two ways to give in someone's name
In honor of someone
Celebrate a living person: a birthday, a wedding, a retirement, a new baby, or simply a thank-you. We tell them a gift was made in their name and what it pays for.
- Birthdays and anniversaries
- Weddings and new babies
- Graduations, retirements, and thank-yous
In memory of someone
Remember someone who has died with a gift to the work they cared about. We write to the family you name with a short card, never the amount, and can group gifts from several people under one name.
- A funeral or memorial service
- The anniversary of a death
- A gift in place of flowers
Three steps
How it works
It takes about three minutes. You get a receipt by email straight away.
Make your gift
Choose an amount, once or monthly, and tick in honor or in memory. Give their name as you want it on the card.
Tell us who to notify
Add the email of the person or family to tell. For a printed card, reply to your receipt with a postal address.
We send a card or an email
Within two working days we send a card that names you and the occasion. The amount stays private.
Make a tribute gift
The tribute option is already ticked. Give their name, and an email if you want us to tell someone.

Funeral and memorial collections
Families often ask for gifts in place of flowers. We can set up a named collection, send collection envelopes to the funeral director, and give the family a list of everyone who gave (without amounts, unless a donor agrees). Tell us the name, the date of the service, and who should receive the list.
