The 100% charity

100% of all direct donations to Kids with Cancer Foundation are passed on to struggling families of kids with cancer.

No management fees, salaries or any running costs of the Foundation are taken from our 'Gift Account', and that is our promise to cancer families and our supporters.  Our donations are only used for families who are struggling financially, and have a child in one of our Australian children's hospitals being treated for childhood cancer.

Cancer families must travel to a major city children's hospital to have their child treated, and the cost can cripple a family's available income over this treatment period, which is at the least months and usually years.  We have no maximum dollar amount per family/per year as we take each social worker's request on merit when it's received.

You can help a family of a young child with cancer today, by ensuring that your donation to a children's cancer charity will get through to the kids in its entirety. 

Donate by free call to: 1800 255522, or mail cheques to, Kids with Cancer Foundation PO Box 135 Westmead NSW 2145.

 GIVING IN LIEU OF A GIFT:

If you would like to make a donation in a friend's name as a gift, just send us an email: donations@kidswithcancer.org.au and tell us the amount of the donation and the email address, or postal address of the person whom you would like us to contact and the credit card details you wish to use.  Include your name and postal address and a receipt for the donation amount will be sent to you.

We will respond in an email to your nominated friend by saying that:

A thoughtful gift as a donation has been made by (your name) to Kids with Cancer Foundation in your name (the amount of the donation will not be disclosed to the email recipient, unless you request it).  The gift will be used in its entirety to assist families of kids with cancer treated in our children's hospitals, who are struggling financially over this period. 

Many thanks on behalf of the kids and their families, and all of us here at Kids with Cancer Foundation.

The Foundation and the kids we support need

all the help that YOU can give and it's now even easier to raise money for these special kids.

Sporting fundraisers:

Supporters of kids with cancer can challenge themselves by becoming an Everyday Hero by organising fun or serious events where they have their family, friends or workmates sponsor their efforts in a fun run, bike ride or swimming carnival etc and help to cure our kids.

Kids with cancer can benefit from the 'City 2 Surf', 'City to surf', 'Run Melbourne' or 'Bridge to Brisbane' or the 'Run Brisbane' Running Festival etc through 'Everyday Hero' just by choosing the kids to sponsor when you participate.

Parents can set up an online fundraising page in 'Everyday Hero' (using our existing banner) for their children for an organised event and challenge other family members and friends to create similar fundraising pages or make online donations supporting their efforts and of course kids with cancer.

It's as easy as logging onto the 'Everyday Hero' website http://www.everydayhero.com.au/event/kwc_fundraising and creating your very own fundraising page.

• By creating your own personalised fundraising page with your own photo or video you can tell your story about why you are trying to raise funds for kids with cancer.

• It's hassle free as collecting promised money or issuing receipts is all handled by Everyday Hero.  Tax deductible receipts are issued immediately by email and the money donated is paid directly into our Gift Account.

• Your online fundraising on behalf of the kids allows you to email people all over the world to show them what you are doing, why and when you ask for support for the kids, experience shows that 30% of people you email will donate to your fundraising, so the more emails you send to your friends the more funds you will raise for the kids.  Challenge your friends to help you to raise funds for kids with cancer.

• Every time someone donates you will receive an email telling you so you can say thanks, unless they chose to remain anonymous.

• Your personalised fundraising page allows your friends who donate to leave a message for you on the page, so it can be read by all and create lots of fun for all concerned as they challenge you to do even more.

All of the above can be done in lieu of gifts or flowers if you choose, just email your friends and ask them to make an online donation to your personal fundraising page set up to direct funds to help Kids with Cancer Foundation to cure our kids.

Our Gift Account:

Once a donation is received in our 'Gift Account' (an Australian Tax Office requirement for donations) it goes wholly to family assistance.  No management fees or costs are deducted from our Gift Account i.e. 100% is passed on.  We work hard 7 days a week without any major sponsors running our own lotteries selling $2 tickets to raise the $11.7million in profit that we have passed on to children's hospitals and families. 

These lotteries/art unions/raffles that we run all year round bear all the costs (wages, postage, printing, phone etc.) associated with running the Foundation.  When you choose a charity to benefit from your donations always ask how much of your donation gets passed to the to the designated charity, always ask.

You can support our hard working fundraisers:

Help them to achieve their goals, follow the link to their fundraising page and challenge your friends to match your donation.

An email from a donor to the kids

Sometimes I wish I was a gizillionaire and you could could have it all.......
I have two healthy girls myself and have never known a kid with cancer personally but I'm sooo glad someone is out there looking after them and their families.
Thanks for the work you're doing, and thanks also to the countless others along side you.
