If you need some help getting started, we have some ideas and guidance you may find useful. Whatever you will end up raising, the donations will make a huge difference.
If you are running an obituary in a newspaper, then this is a good opportunity to mention your Tribute Fund. You could write that “It is the wish of .... that a donation is to be made to Hjerteforeningen.” or “Instead of flowers for the funeral, we hope you will make a donation to Hjerteforeningen”.
After you have created a tribute fund, you will receive a ‘short link’ for your tribute fund. This is URL is just 8 characters long and will fit into most obituaries.
We believe that personal messages are the best way to share a tribute fund. You can either email the link to your tribute fund page or share the link in personal facebook or text messages.
You can also share the page on social media such as Facebook. It is a good idea to add a few words about the person you have created the page in memory of and why you have created it for Hjerteforeningen.
The tribute fund will stay open as long as you want. Family and friends will be able to remember your loved one by making gifts for special occasions. Many choose to give on a birthday or anniversary of a loved one, and thus it makes sense to revisit and update the tribute funds around these dates.
