Accelerate

Why philanthropic giving?

Philanthropic contributions are essential to accelerate progress and improve outcomes for those diagnosed with cancer. By backing brilliant cancer research through ACRF Accelerate, you are funding entire programs of pioneering cancer research.

What is ACRF Accelerate?

ACRF Accelerate is our structured philanthropic initiative. ACRF Accelerate uses the generous support from people like yourself, willing to make a contribution of at least $5,000. You will be guided by a dedicated relationship manager to back significant life-saving cancer research projects within Australia.

"We know from cancer researchers that access to better technology and equipment is the key to significantly shifting the dial to improve the prevention, detection and treatment of all cancers. We look forward to working with you to secure a better future."

- Kerry Strydom, ACRF CEO

What we fund

Researchers tell us that it’s the technology that drives the innovations and breakthroughs in cancer research. Since 1984, we have provided $204 million to 90 projects within 44 organisations through the generosity of all our supporters working together towards a world without cancer.

The ACRF Medical Research Advisory Committee comprises world-renowned scientists and clinicians who ensure only the most deserving of projects are funded. Ultimately this gives you comfort that your donation will result in real, measurable benefits for those diagnosed with or at risk of cancer.

Customised experience and involvement

With a minimum contribution of $5,000 you can select which program to pledge your support to, or you can share your contribution across all projects through ‘untied funding’, in a bespoke approach that best aligns with your wishes.

We’ll keep you informed of progress, but you may want to go a little deeper in your understanding of the research by attending special events and tours. Your dedicated relationship manager will tailor your preferences in line with your wishes.
