The pacific is a peaceful place to be.
College fund: A local suggested we look into that to start up in a friends name here. No one has acted on it yet so not sure, but the first place I'd inquire would be at the financial aid office of a college/university where bursaries and scholarships are available to be applied for. Those people might even be responsible for creating such funds, and if not they could probably tell you what type of banker/lawyer/accountant to approach with that sort of business to get the ball rolling. I know for us here we'd just stroll on into the financial aid office on campus and tell them we want to start a fund of some sort in our friends name who earned 2 degrees there - one of which was trail blazing stuff that created UBC's Indigenous Studies program and then go from there w/ the info and feedback they gave us. That's where I'd start with this.
Things to consider: If it's to be an annual thing forever, from what I understand there needs to be a large amount of money in place that's generating enough investment income to support the annual disbursement. ie If you wanted it to be a $1000/year amount awarded to a deserving student facing adversity and financial hardship - or even homelessness & yet they still find a will & way to study, and some long term stable investment paid a rate of 2.5% return annually, you would need a fund comprised of more than $40,000.00 in the account - 2.5% annual return would cover the $1000 disbursement into perpetuity, but there would likely be management/account fees, hence more than $40K. And that's just with a guess at what a stable long term annual return might look like in some low risk investment or another. (2.5%)
Perhaps raising $40K+ is far too ambitious an undertaking? At half that you could fund half the amount ($500 annually) - and perhaps that's still pie in the sky kind of numbers.. however: Raising $500-1000 once is maybe not too ambitious of a goal, and the $ could be disbursed as a one time thing to an applicant in dire need - possibly a mature student over the age of 50 who could never afford to splash out $500-1000 on taking a course or two due to poverty level income and a lifetime of precarious housing situations, literally ensure that someone like ASS-P gets to live out his dream of attending college even to take just one class on campus before they die. Or maybe it goes to some bright young kid and helps change the entire trajectory of their life's path so that they get the foot in the door of a college institution that snowballs into them finding their way to a different life? I dunno. Details schmetails, just some rambling thoughts of the moment.
