[[File:Giska fund pamphlet.png|left|thumb|200x200px|Logo for the fund circa 1992.]] | [[File:Giska fund pamphlet.png|left|thumb|200x200px|Logo for the fund circa 1992.]]Shortly after the outbreak of the Croatian War, the Serb criminal Đorđe Božović "Giška" formed the Serbian Guard paramilitary unit together with Vuk Drašković, founder of the SPO. The unit participated in combat in Republika Srpska Krajina, especially around Croat-held Gospić. During combat in Gospić, Giška was killed on 15 September 1991. His death remains a mystery, as the people who were with him, as well as family and friends claim that the bullets that killed him came from Serbs and not Croats. During the war, the government claimed that he died in combat with the enemy, yet the public consensus was that he was murdered from behind, rather than killed by enemies in combat, which made Giška a popular figure. | ||
In 1992, after the death of Srpska garda commander Giška, "Fond komandantu srpske garde Đorđa Božovića", a fund dedicated to providing humanitarian aid, was set up in his honor. This fund was founded by Giška's surviving family, SPO members, and prominent musician Bora-Čorba with its primary goal of financially aiding those affected by war. Giška's mother, Milena Božović served as the president of the fund the entire time it was active.<ref>Vojislav Milić. "Humanitarni fond komandanta srpske garde Beograd, 1992. godine".
