thisfinecrewGoFundMe: Honor Dr. Blasey as an Educator
On September 27th, 2018, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford (who uses “Blasey” professionally) carried on her career as a scholar and educator, by providing lessons in civic responsibility, courage, and using one’s knowledge to speak truth to power. Since 1995, at least, when she published her dissertation, Dr. Blasey has been engaged in research and teaching.
To honor her, particularly in her professional capacity, this is a campaign to raise funds to endow an academic chair (professorship) and/or scholarships, to be named so as to recognize Dr. Blasey.

HeidiLiFeldman, a Georgetown law professor who ran the now-capped fund to cover Dr Blasey's security costs, so seems (as far as I can verify) as legit as possible.
She says: I know there are many requests for support for all sorts of efforts right now. I will keep at this project over time. But I don’t want our country or Dr. Blasey to go months, or years,without at least one formal, apt memorial to her guts, professionalism.
Note: this is a thing non-US people can donate to as well.
