Generous donors, who give to cancer research on a regular basis, are our "Partners in the Cure".  

Regular giving encourages people to make a long-term investment in cancer research via monthly contributions to the ACRF.   We launched Partners in the Cure so that we can plan our research grants more effectively, ensuring we have the resources to fund the type of work outlined in the Research section of this website.

Giving regularly is also a cost effective way for individuals to manage their other financial commitments, while still regularly contributing to the search for a cure. You’ll barely notice a $25 deduction from your bank account each month, for example, yet by the end of the year, you’ve contributed $300 to help Australia's best cancer researchers, like Australian of the Year, Professor Ian Frazer,  in their search for better treatments and ways to prevent, diagnose and cure for cancer.  Which of course means a better outcome for Australia's many cancer patients.

You are also helping us meet our commitment to keep down costs so more money goes to our researchers.  Monthly pledges to the ACRF greatly reduce our administration and postage costs, enabling us to channel more funds into the cancer research projects we fund.

Why become a Partner in the Cure?

By becoming a Partner in the Cure you will be making a lasting and meaningful commitment to cancer research in Australia. Your support allows the ACRF to carefully plan its finances from year to year, ensuring we can continue to fund the best cancer research. You’ll also be helping us to fund more grants than we do now.

"I always wanted to give to charity but when asked to give only once or twice a year I could only give say, $50. I have so many other commitments… my home loan, my car, credit cards. Yet I know that the Australian Cancer Research Foundation urgently needs my support to fund groundbreaking research projects. I would love to give more, but to give say, $200 in one go would be too much at one time, given my other commitments.

  Then I discovered that I could join the new Partners in the Cure program and give a monthly pledge. I now give $35 a month to the ACRF that's $420 per year and yet I barely notice my monthly gift. What's more, I get a tax benefit on all of my gifts and it's so easy to set up.

  The Foundation saves too because it's cheaper for them to manage, it's deducted automatically from my bank (I could do it through my payroll or credit card too) so I don't have to do anything now it's set up.

  In the end I know I am helping my favourite charity. I'm being part of the cure."*
