[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Give the OP some credit. She said she gave money toward the funeral expenses.[/b] I assume the funeral came before the scholarship fund. OP didn’t mention how big her family is, but why don’t you suggest a family donation each year in lieu of Christmas gifts (not your immediate family, but all the adult and kid exchanges). [/quote]

If this is a family that needed help with the funeral expenses, this is not a family that should be prioritizing endowing a scholarship. [/quote]

Absolutely. They sound not well off, but needed money to fund the funeral they wanted. Then they sound unworldly as well, not knowing they should be funding most of any scholarship instead of crowd sourcing it over 5 years. Pitiful and traumatized but they are now ragefueling their financial shortfall.

OP you sound like a nice person. Give now what you would have intended to give in toto, tell them you are doing what would have been a multi year series of donations in a lump sum "to get momentum for their fundraising.". Then that's that.
