There are two main funds: a Bank of America contribution account managed by the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office and the Kyron Horman Foundation, organized by Kyron's parents, Kaine Horman and Desiree Young, and stepfather Tony Young.
The sheriff's office fund began in June to offset the mounting expenses of the search for the missing boy, said spokeswoman Lt. Mary Lindstrand.
A chunk of donations are earmarked for search and rescue expenses, including staff hours, gas and meals. County search efforts are managed by the sheriff's office, but bolstered by nonprofit volunteer crews.
The rest of the contributions -- which are still trickling in -- "can go to any line item of anything to do with the Kyron case," Lindstrand said. The account remains open for donations, she said, because "we just haven't stopped it. We haven't solicited funds, but if people want to give, we want to help" provide a way to do it easily online.
