Aspiring to a world without cancer

ACRF’s Impact Philanthropy Initiative

Welcome To The Acrf Accelerate

PROGRAM, designed in line with our mission as a leading, independent Australian charity to reach a world without cancer.

The Accelerate program is a structured philanthropic program administered by Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) that enables generous supporters to make a real impact by supporting some of Australia’s most significant and cutting-edge cancer research programs.

ACRF has worked with health economists and financial advisors to present the program in a way that provides prospective donors with a unique philanthropic opportunity to evaluate and provide funding towards promising cancer research projects in Australia today.

To apply a similar due diligence as you would for any significant financial decision and to help you assess the funding opportunities available, a unique model has been created to articulate the anticipated future impact of each project.

This bespoke approach to cancer research funding allows donors to see exactly how their contributions will benefit the lives of others, not only now, but well into the future. With so much at stake, and so many lives touched by cancer, we invite you to help make a significant difference by selecting a program and pledging your support.

Since 1984, ACRF has facilitated the investment of over $174M IN 82 CANCER PROJECTS AUSTRALIA-WIDE

The Foundation provides privately funded grants of between $1M and $10M to support VITAL TECHNOLOGY, EQUIPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE to accelerate cancer research

ACRF’s year-on-year philanthropic investment equates to around 30% of all NON-GOVERNMENT FUNDING IN CANCER RESEARCH
