Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cancer Research Giving Day?
Cancer Research Giving Day takes place on Tuesday 11 February 2024. It’s a special day when you have the power to double your donation to help fund life-saving cancer research here in Western Australia. From 7 January to 11 February every dollar you donate will be doubled by our generous matched giver until the $175,000 of matched giving runs out.
How can I donate?
Donating is easy! Simply visit the Cancer Research Giving Day page https://donate.cancerwa.asn.au/cancer-research-giving-day and follow the steps for donation.
How is my donation doubled?
Every dollar you donate will be matched by a generous community donor who is excited to take part in Cancer Research Giving Day. Their pledge will be activated once a donor (such as yourself!) gives an amount on the day, effectively doubling the amount you have donated.
How much of my donation is tax deductible?
All donations over $2 are tax deductible. You are only able to claim the amount you personally donate, and not the matched total amount.
Where does my money go? Can I choose exactly where my donations go or who they help?
While your generous donation will help fund life-saving research projects right here in Western Australia, there will not be an option to donate directly to specific research projects.
How can I promote Cancer Research Giving Day?
We’d love for you to help spread the word of Cancer Research Giving Day with your friends, family, and workmates via your usual social channels!
Why are the donations matched only up to $175,000?
This is the amount that the generous group of matching donations have committed to matching.
