28 years funding cancer research in Australia

The ACRF is today celebrating its 28th anniversary!

Established in 1984, the ACRF was created to fill a gap in cancer research funding. It pledged to provide significant private grants for progressive cancer research initiatives across the country – specifically for cutting-edge technologies, facilities, and visionary collaborations.

The ACRF has since awarded almost $80 million in grants for world-class cancer research, a truly incredible feat. Furthermore, thanks to our always careful financial management, the ACRF is proud to be able to say that every donation dollar we receive provides the funding for these grants. No donation dollars are used to fund our administrative, operational or marketing costs.

… Or the costs for this incredible anniversary cake. Thank you to Cheryl for her amazing handiwork in the kitchen. And thank you also to our guest cake-cutter Glenys who, together with her husband John, has helped ACRF grow right from the very beginning.

Happy birthday ACRF!
