Jackie Omalveney was killed when the car he was travelling in crashed near Mudgee just before midnight on Friday.
The boy's mother has set up a GoFundMe page "to help raise money to bury my 14 year old son who died tragically in a car accident this morning".
The page shares photographs of Jackie and messages from people who have donated.
On Sunday morning the fundraising on the page had reached over $3000.
Friends and family also took to Facebook to post messages remembering the 14-year-old.
"Rip my dear nephew love u always and forever fly high buddy," Jackie's aunty Leigh Cottee wrote on Facebook.
"R.I.P buddy best cousin ever! You will surely be missed x," his cousin Rikky-Leigh Keys wrote.
The driver of the car Jackie was travelling in, a 16-year-old who was allegedly driving without a licence, remained in hospital in a critical condition on Saturday.
Police suggested the teenager was speeding when he swerved to avoid a wombat and crashed in the state's central west, the ABC reported.
The driver's blue Ford Festiva was flipped onto its roof in the single-vehicle crash on Wollar Road at Munghorn Gap, about 35 kilometres north-east of Mudgee.
The 16-year-old was treated by paramedics before being flown to Westmead Hospital, with life-threatening head injuries.
