Share This Article

No matter how you choose to give back to the Alberta Cancer Foundation, your gifts have the power to make life better for the 23,000 Albertans who are diagnosed with cancer each year. With your support, we can continue to innovate and provide patients with better care, close to home.

Become a monthly donor

Your monthly donations provide consistent and reliable funding, allowing the Foundation to respond to patient needs today, rather than having to wait for fundraising campaigns to be completed tomorrow.

Make a donation to honour a loved one

Every single donation, whether large or small, is an impactful act of generosity. A one-time donation allows you to make an immediate impact on cancer in Alberta and provides you with flexibility in your philanthropic efforts. You can give in memory of a loved one lost to cancer or in honour of someone currently facing a cancer journey.

Donate securities

When gifting appreciated stocks or mutual funds to the Foundation, you pay no tax on the capital gain and receive a charitable tax receipt for the full donation amount. This is a tax-efficient way to give that supports a healthier future for Albertans affected by cancer.

Become a corporate partner

Your organization can partner with the Foundation for a specific campaign, inspire staff to participate in monthly giving programs or fundraising events, or invest in one of our approved funding priorities.

Leave a legacy

When you include the Alberta Cancer Foundation in your will, you leave a legacy of hope for future generations affected by cancer. Your legacy gift will continue to fund critical research and innovative treatments, bringing us one step closer to a world without cancer.

Beyond donations

Giving back financially isn’t the only way to make a difference. Participate in an event, like the Enbridge Tour Alberta for Cancer, purchase a ticket for the Alberta Cancer Foundation’s Lottery (formerly Cash & Cars Lottery), create a fundraising event of your own, or share your story to influence the way cancer is prevented, detected and treated.
