Individual donors play a vital role in fundraising at Cancer Council. Our community of donors enables us to provide essential services to support people affected by cancer in NSW through programs and support services and through funding the breakthrough cancer research that will help tackle cancer.
Your gift will have an impact that will improve the lives of people affected by cancer right now and benefit the lives of future generations.
Cancer Council relies on support from the community, including individual donors and you can play an important part with your significant gift.
Why you should support Cancer Council
We work across every area of every cancer, from advocacy and prevention, Information and Support services and cancer research.
Our Purpose is to change the path of cancer, and make sure no one walks alone.
Our Values speak to the expectations we have of ourselves and our role in achieving our vision of a cancer free future.
Our strength comes from weaving our relationships with each other, people living with cancer and their friends/families, communities, donors, and partners together.
Our work changes the path of cancer and improves quality of life. Through positive actions, we are determined to create better outcomes for our community.
We are driven by our vision of a cancer free future and face it with the same grit and determination that people living with cancer, their loved ones and communities do.
If we sit still, cancer isn’t going anywhere – our imaginations energise our everyday pursuit to improve, do better to push us closer to our goal.

When you make a gift of over $5,000, you can choose to support one of our 3 pillars of work.
Cancer Prevention and Advocacy: Reducing both the burden of cancer and cancer risk across NSW communities, through targeted programs, policy, and advocacy. Together, we can stop cancer before it starts.
Cancer Information and Support services: Providing cancer information, practical and emotional support programs to enhance the quality of life for people affected by cancer. Support over 53,000 people who will be diagnosed with cancer in NSW this year.
Cancer Research: Funding and conducting world-class cancer research that saves lives and improves outcomes for cancer patients. Because funding the next cancer research breakthrough takes all of us.
