How can you start up a charity fund?

I wanted to figure out how you could start up a fund for someone. There is a woman my grandmother knows who has lost everything. So she took all she had left in a back pack and is now walking the Appellation mountains. She has started in georgia and will end in Maine. She is doing this for a "soul walk" for the people whom have lost so much in these times and in the war. I wanted to start up a fund in her name. How can I do this???



irs.gov for the forms needed to register your charity.


Starting costs range from 500 to 1k


You need Officers and a board of trustees, mission statement, Taxpayer ID number to open a bank account.
