    1. [Y-DNA-projects] General Fund How-To?
    2. Carol Botteron
    3. I administer three smallish projects at FTDNA. I would like to set up a General Fund but am not sure how to do it. The GAP page and the FAQ at http://www.familytreedna.com/faq/answers/default.aspx?faqid=20 do not say how to start a fund. I'd appreciate a pointer to "How to" instructions, and/or the benefit of people's experience. A prospective donor offered to pay for a test if an applicant meets certain criteria. An applicant's pedigree is now being evaluated. If he meets the criteria, I'm picturing something like: (1) I somehow set up a General Fund for this project. (2) Donor puts enough money into the fund to pay for a test (using credit card or whatever). (3) Applicant applies to join the group, I accept. (4) Applicant orders a test. What does he do about payment? (5) I tell FTDNA that this applicant's test is to be paid for by the general fund. (Assuming FTDNA needs his kit number for this.) Clearly I need help. adTHANKSvance!
