Tax deductible charity donations are a great way to give your tax refund a boost while contributing to a cause that you are passionate about helping.
Thanks to the generosity of our many supporters, each year ACRF is able to award high-impact grants, allowing Australia’s best scientists to embark on ground-breaking research projects.
Donations to ACRF supported one of the most impactful breakthroughs in cancer research. ACRF provided seed-funding for Prof. Ian Frazer’s research into the cervical cancer vaccine which is soon to set Australia as the first country to effectively eliminate the disease.
Your donation will help us fund breakthroughs like these. 100% of every dollar donated by 30 June will go to cancer research. Without your help we would not be able to change the odds for Australians like Julie and to continue exploring improved ways to diagnose cancers early as possible.

A tax deduction can only be claimed for gifts or donations made to organisations that have a deductible gift recipient (DGR) status.
ACRF holds DGR status and also has the registered charity tick from the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). A stamp that is reflective of the standards to which ACRF proudly holds itself to. This means that ACRF complies with the transparency and accountability standards of the ACNC Charity Register.

Like any other tax deduction, you must have a receipt. You should keep records of all tax-deductible gifts and contributions you make. The Australian Taxation office recommends keeping receipts for five years after the completion of your tax return to support your claim.
Donate to our tax appeal before June 30 and 100% of your donation will go to cancer research.

Please donate to support ground-breaking cancer research today.
Your donations to ACRF help fund research into all cancers across research institutes, universities and hospitals all across Australia. These projects cover prevention, detection, and treatment for all types of cancer. Our achievements include seed funding the development of the cervical cancer (HPV) vaccine which has been delivered to over 150 million people worldwide.
ACRF receives no government funding and relies on generous donations from individuals and businesses. Without your generosity, we cannot continue to fund groundbreaking research and contribute to the development of breakthrough cancer diagnostic measures.
