Monthly Giving

Yes! Tax deductible donations are available through our monthly gifts as Canteen Australia is endorsed as a deductible gift recipient (DGR). Tax deductible donations must be ‘genuine’, meaning that you cannot receive any benefit from the donation. For more information about tax deductible donations, click here.

You will automatically receive a consolidated tax receipt for your tax deductible donations at the end of each financial year. This receipt will include all your monthly contributions for that year, making it easy for you to claim your tax deduction.

Our CanDo Family is made up of generous Australians who provide a charity donation through a monthly gift. More than 80% of our funds are gifted by our CanDo Family.

Your regular gift means we can keep going! Monthly giving is the best way to help us ensure no young Australian has to face cancer alone as it provides a predictable and stable income stream, allowing us to effectively plan ahead. Each day our support services reach thousands of young Aussies like Tara, and that’s only possible because of the continuous support of caring people like you.

Absolutely! We understand that circumstances can change and you can revise your gift at any time, for any reason. Simply contact our friendly Supporter Care team on 1800 639 614 or email us at [email protected].

By joining the CanDo Family of monthly supporters, you are joining a community of caring Australians helping young people square up to cancer. The more supporters we have, the more young people we can support! And, in return, we’re committed to showing you evidence of the impact your generosity makes right from the start. Join today and you can expect:

• Stories of impact, directly from the young people you're supporting
• Statistics and reporting on the impact of every dollar you give
• Opportunities to tell us directly how we're doing

Canteen is committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for young people affected by cancer, and therefore our minimum donation amount is $5 due to the cost of processing transactions. For every $1 invested in delivering our programs to young people, we return up to $5.46 of value back into the community. Start your monthly gift today, and let us prove to you the power of your generosity. 

Every year the generous monthly contributions from our CanDo Family support more young people to cope with the challenges cancer brings. Thanks to supporters like you, over 1,000 young people could access Canteen’s events, programs, and recreation days in the past year. Canteen’s programs are designed and developed to meet young people where they’re at in their cancer journey – offering encouragement and connection.

Created with and for young people impacted by cancer, these programs provide opportunities for young people to talk to others with a similar experience and develop strategies to cope. Young people can decide whether they want their support to be recreationally focused, emotionally focused, or a mix of both.

At Canteen, all support services are underpinned by our research and evaluation team who conduct world-class psychosocial research with the ultimate goal of transforming the lives of young people affected by cancer. Read more about our commitment to high-quality research and evaluation or read our latest reports.

Cancer affects everyone differently, which means your monthly donations are supporting a range of programs and services with tailored content to suit different cancer experiences. This means you are ensuring young people’s specific needs are being met, whether this is providing practical and emotional support to help young people explore their feelings about cancer, providing connection with other young people or, if they’ve been diagnosed themselves, by providing youth-specific treatment teams. Read more about the wide range of free support services Canteen offers.

Absolutely! You can easily adjust the amount of your monthly donation at any time by contacting our friendly Supporter Care team on 1800 639 614 or email us at [email protected]. With every additional gift you make, a Canteen opportunity becomes possible for a young person who so desperately needs it.

There are so many ways to get involved with Canteen and help young people overcome the immense challenges of cancer. Here’s a few ideas to get started:

• Fundraise in whatever way you can or selling Canteen bandannas in your community. 
• Partner with us as an organisation, as a philanthropist, by leaving a gift in your Will, or by donating your time. 

However you choose to support, you will be providing life-changing support to young Aussies impacted by cancer.
