You may come across BC Cancer Foundation canvassers at your door or at a kiosk in your community, sharing how you can support life-saving cancer research and care through monthly giving.
Your monthly donations provide stable and predictable funding to support ongoing, life-saving cancer research and care for thousands of families in the province.
Please consider joining our Monthly Donor community today. Your support will make a tremendous difference in the lives of British Columbians.
Fundraising in person is one of the most effective and personal ways we can reach out to donors. One in two British Columbians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime – but thanks to increased awareness and generous support from caring donors, the BC Cancer Foundation can fund research that enhances cancer care and improves outcomes for British Columbians and beyond.
All BC Cancer Foundation fundraisers have identification badges (as seen below). They will also process your donation electronically on a tablet and will call a third-party verification centre at 1-866-478-0676.
No, we do not accept cash or coin gifts at the door. This helps protect both the donor and fundraiser. If you wish to make a monthly gift, our fundraisers will accept debit and credit card payments. You may also choose to make your monthly gift online.
