Monthly Giving

Yes. Tax-deductible donations are available through our monthly gifts because Canteen Australia (ABN 77 052 040 516) is endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR). Tax-deductible donations must be a “genuine gift”, meaning that you cannot receive any benefit from the donation. For more information about tax-deductible donations, click here.

You’ll automatically receive a consolidated tax receipt for your tax-deductible donations after 30 June each year. This receipt will include all your monthly contributions for that financial year, making it easy 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 plan. 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 [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.

Canteen is committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for young people affected by cancer, so our minimum monthly donation 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 choose support that is recreationally focused, emotionally focused, or a mix of both.
