If you're interested in setting up a fund, the best type of fund is a profit-sharing fund, where those who receive from the fund receive a percentage of the profit .
In that manner, the fund is not depleted of its assets. The fund does not go bankrupt. You must also not allow your fund to go below a certain amount, whether this amount is $500 or $100,000 .
In addition, you can require those receiving from your fund to do work to earn money for the fund. This can also be a requirement. Let's say web content writing is the work that generates money for your fund, then those receiving from the fund are required to do web content writing .
These writers are required to write in the name of the fund and/or in the name of the company that manages the fund. With this web content is sold, a percentage goes to the writer, a percentage to the company that manages the fund, and a percentage to the fund .
You can also have fundraisers. For these fundraisers you should sell real products, such as new or used books. It is understood that when people purchase these products, a percentage of the money goes to the fund. You should inform those buying these products the amount of money that goes to the fund. They should also know what type of fund, e.g. if it's a fund to buy books or musical instruments for school children. Or it could be a fund to buy clothing to send to needy children in various countries .
If it is a public fund, then you also need a reputable accountant. This accountant can be a "commissions accountant," who understands that the accountant receives a percentage of the monies paid into the fund, say 5%-20% as their accountant fee. They cannot receive more money than the fund itself generates, so that the accountant also cannot deplete the fund of the amount that it generates .
