Here is info on the second fund:

*Lowcountry Ministries – Reverend Pinckney Fund*

This Fund will be administered by the Palmetto Project (a South Carolina

the funds donated will be used in this community to support local

projects that Reverend Pinckney was so passionate about. Decisions on the
use of these funds will be made a task force of stakeholders made up of a
member or members of Reverend Pinckney’s family, colleagues,
representatives from Emanuel AME Church and other members of our community
selected for their specific expertise. *These donations will be tax
deductible.* Donations can be made by ….
