Yes, your donation is managed directly by the Alberta Cancer Foundation. A tax receipt will be issued?

Yes! Funds contributed are a donation not a sponsorship, and will be issued a tax receipt by the Alberta Cancer Foundation. Receipts are issued to the original donor or company named on the donation.

Like so many others, I have been touched on several levels by cancer. Friends, friend's parents, Aunts, Uncles, and my family. This is a small way I can help give back to the organization that works so hard for our community.

Here is a post directly from the Alberta Cancer Foundation's website. More information can be found at https://www.albertacancer.ca/our-purpose/ . "We bring together donors, patients, health care providers and researchers, because we know this is the fastest way to close the gap between diagnosis and cure. We are the official fundraising partner for all 17 Cancer Control Alberta cancer centres in Alberta, including the Tom Baker Cancer Centre in Calgary and the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton. Through this partnership, we are able to make the most significant impact for patients. From the outside, we may look like a charity. But we don’t think of ourselves that way at all. We certainly don’t act like a charity. We won’t invest your money, our money, or anyone else’s money in research initiatives or treatments, if there isn’t a clear line of sight to patient outcomes. We operate more like an investment manager, investing hundreds of millions of dollars in those initiatives that will provide actual, quantifiable returns: Cancer patients returning to their lives. Mothers returning to young children. Employees returning to work. People from all over our province returning, in the thousands, to their communities. What greater return on investment could there possibly be?"
