We are thrilled you have decided to create a fundraiser to collect donations for the Alberta Cancer Foundation and join our mission to create more moments for Albertans facing cancer.
When you donate to the Alberta Cancer Foundation’s More Hope Movement, you ensure every Albertan facing cancer has the support they need and the treatment they deserve, now and into the future.
Yes, please share your fundraiser with your friends, family, neighbours and colleagues! Tag us on social media (@albertacancer), and we will reshare your stories. We encourage reaching out to local media outlets to share your story as well. It is always best to come from you.
Yes, however, we strongly encourage creating a personalized fundraiser website. This will ensure that people who can’t attend your fundraiser can still donate. It also gives you a space where you can share your story and tell others what inspired you to host your fundraiser. All offline funds should be submitted within 45 days of the fundraiser.
Any monetary donations made towards a fundraiser will receive a tax receipt. If there is a benefit (receiving an item, logo recognition, auction item, etc.), no receipt can be issued.
If you are planning to raise at least $5000 in raffle revenue, we can host an online raffle for you with certain guidelines. Please review the Raffle Guidelines and if your raffle qualifies, complete the Raffle Intake form and email the completed form to events@albertacancer.ca
Yes! Having multiple people skilled in different areas gives you more time to focus on fundraising. A group of family or friends is sufficient, or others equally passionate about the cause. It is not essential but recommended to raise even more money.
We are here to support you with promotional materials and are happy to provide guidance, especially with Canadian Revenue Agency. We currently do not have the resources to plan community or partnership fundraisers at this time.
You can use any sales, auction, registration or sponsors as they are non-receiptable. The funds that are remaining can be sent to our head office by cheque with a breakdown indicating how funds were raised. Donations must come straight to the Foundation for proper receipting.
It is important that you thank your donors directly. They are supporting you as well as a cause that is important to you, and this is a great way to connect with them. If you need extra guidance, we are happy to review the thank you message.
We have a variety of promotional materials, Leap Magazines, and branded collateral available for use at your event. Please inquire at least one month prior to your event.
For straight donations, we recommend that donors use your personalized event webpage. For all other proceeds, please send to:
