ANSWER:

This is an innovation! You can give charity on behalf of the living and the deceased and this would benefit them. You can’t pray, fast (except when it is mandatory for the deceased) or read the quran on behalf of others. 

My mother told me that after she dies she wants me to make a madrasha in her name. So, i intend to do so.Not naming the madrasha after her name though. And i heard that if you make dua for others, the angels make dua for you. So, i was thinking that i will do all my good deeds from now onwards on behalf of others. Or in the name of others. Should i do this? Will i get more reward? Or no reward?
