A charge from “Fight Cancer Foundation”, “FIGHT CANCER FDN”, or a similar descriptor on your bank or card statement is usually related to a charitable donation or fundraising activity. This could be a one-off online or in-person donation, a regular monthly or quarterly gift you set up, a workplace giving contribution, or a payment linked to an event or fundraising campaign. Some supporters see a small $1–$2 pending amount when first setting up or updating their card details; this is typically an authorization check by the payment processor that should drop off automatically.
If you’re unsure about a Fight Cancer Foundation charge, start by checking your email for a donation receipt from fightcancer.org.au, reviewing any regular giving or workplace giving arrangements you may have set up, and asking family members who might have donated using a shared card. To resolve questions, visit fightcancer.org.au and use the contact details or donation enquiry form, or call their office (during Australian business hours) for direct assistance. Have the exact amount, date of the charge, and the last four digits of the card ready—this will help their team quickly locate the transaction, resend receipts for tax purposes, update or cancel regular donations, or investigate any suspicious or mistaken payments.

These are the raw merchant codes that appear on bank and credit card statements that we've identified as belonging to Fight Cancer Foundation.
Why did I receive a charge from Fight Cancer Foundation on my bank or credit card statement?
Most often, a Fight Cancer Foundation charge relates to a charitable donation made online, over the phone, at an event, or via a regular giving program you previously authorised. It may also be connected to workplace giving, a fundraising event registration, or a raffle/ticket purchase where Fight Cancer Foundation is the beneficiary. Review recent fundraising campaigns you’ve supported or receipts in your email to confirm the source of the payment.
What are common donation amounts or patterns I might see from Fight Cancer Foundation?
Common one-off donations are often round amounts such as AUD $20, $50, $100, or $200, but any amount is possible based on what you selected when giving. Regular givers frequently choose monthly amounts like AUD $15, $25, $30, or $50, which will appear on or around the same date each month. Workplace giving contributions may appear as smaller, recurring amounts deducted each pay cycle. All donations of AUD $2 or more to Fight Cancer Foundation are generally tax-deductible in Australia.
How do I cancel or change my regular (recurring) donation to Fight Cancer Foundation?
To cancel, pause, or change the amount or frequency of your recurring donation, contact Fight Cancer Foundation directly via the contact details at fightcancer.org.au or by calling their office during business hours. Provide your full name, email address used when donating, and the last four digits of the card being charged so they can locate your supporter record. Changes to direct debits or card payments may take one billing cycle to fully take effect, so you may see one final charge already in progress.
How can I get a copy of my donation receipt or annual giving summary?
Donation receipts are typically emailed automatically to the address you provided at the time of giving. If you can’t find your receipt or need a consolidated annual statement for tax purposes, you can request one by contacting Fight Cancer Foundation via their website or by phone. Include your name, approximate dates and amounts of donations, and your contact email so they can quickly retrieve and resend your documentation.
Why do I see a small or temporary Fight Cancer Foundation charge (like $1–$2) on my account?
A very small charge or pending amount (often around $1–$2) may be an authorization hold used by the payment processor to verify your card when you make a donation or update your details. This is not an actual donation and should automatically reverse or disappear from your statement within a few business days. If it remains or converts into a posted charge and you’re concerned, contact Fight Cancer Foundation with the transaction details so they can investigate.
How do I request a refund or dispute a Fight Cancer Foundation charge I don’t recognise?
If you believe a donation was made in error, duplicated, or without your authorisation, contact Fight Cancer Foundation as soon as possible using the phone number or email listed at fightcancer.org.au. Provide the date, amount, and the name on the card or account, along with any reference number from your statement. They can check whether the payment is linked to your record, correct any mistakes, and advise on their refund policy for fraudulent or accidental donations.
Can someone else’s donation using my card cause a Fight Cancer Foundation charge?
Yes. Sometimes a family member, partner, or authorised card user may use a shared credit or debit card to make a donation, which will then appear in the primary cardholder’s statement. Before assuming fraud, check with others who have access to your card and search your email accounts for receipts from Fight Cancer Foundation. If no one recognises the transaction, contact the charity and, if needed, your bank to report and investigate the charge.
How can I safely contact Fight Cancer Foundation about a billing or donation query?
Always use the official website, fightcancer.org.au, to find current phone numbers, email addresses, or contact forms—avoid links from unsolicited emails or messages. When you contact them, you may be asked to confirm some personal details and the last four digits of your card, but you should never be asked to share your full card number or PIN by email or over the phone. If you’re ever unsure, hang up and call back using the number listed directly on their official website.
