Anonymous donors have given $3 million to a scholarship fund for members of the Mother Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church community after a massacre at the historic house of worship left nine dead.
The money has been donated to the Reverend Pinckney Scholarship Fund, named in honor of Rev. Clementa Pinckney, one of the victims in the Charleston, SC tragedy. The fund will provide college and advanced degree scholarships for the historical church's extended community, including the families of the victims.
"We do not pretend to understand the pain caused by this unimaginable tragedy," the anonymous donors said in a statement. "We simply want members of the Mother Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church community to know that the burdens of perseverance and empathy, which they have demonstrated with such dignity, do not fall exclusively on their shoulders."

I wonder how many people donated directly to the church? That's what I did a day or two after the massacre.
They are building an elevator to assist handicapped people who want to worship there.
