About National Cancer Foundation

National Cancer Foundation is an Australian health promotion charity based in Adelaide, South Australia, dedicated to reducing the impact of cancer in the community. Through cancerfoundation.org.au, the organisation supports cancer research, provides patient and family accommodation close to treatment centres, offers financial assistance to those experiencing hardship during treatment, and runs education and awareness programs. As a registered charity, it relies on public donations, corporate support, community fundraising, bequests, and grants to fund its programs.

A charge from National Cancer Foundation may appear on your bank or card statement if you made a one-off donation, set up a recurring monthly or annual donation, sponsored someone’s fundraising page, purchased tickets or merchandise from a charity event, or responded to a mail, phone, or online appeal. You might also see a charge if you agreed to become a regular giver after speaking with a street fundraiser or phone representative, or if an existing recurring donation was updated to a new card. In some cases, you may notice a small temporary “pending” amount when you first enter your card details online, which is an authorization check that should drop off after a short period.

If you’re unsure about a National Cancer Foundation charge, start by checking recent emails for donation receipts, event confirmations, or fundraising sponsorships from an @cancerfoundation.org.au address, and review your bank statement description for details like “donation,” “appeal,” or “recurring gift.” You can log into any donor or fundraising account you created via cancerfoundation.org.au to review your giving history, or contact the Foundation directly using the phone number and contact form listed on their website with your full name, amount, and date of the charge so they can locate the transaction. Common issues—such as forgotten recurring donations, duplicate donations after refreshing a web page, or outdated card details—are usually resolved by adjusting or cancelling the donation schedule, issuing a partial or full refund where appropriate under their donation and refund policy, or correcting your payment information.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a recurring charge from National Cancer Foundation on my statement each month?

This is most likely a regular donation you set up as a “monthly” or “regular giving” contribution, either online, over the phone, by mail, or via a street fundraiser. Many supporters choose fixed amounts such as AUD $10, $20, or $50 per month, which are then debited automatically on the same date each cycle. You can confirm this by checking any welcome or receipt emails from the Foundation or by contacting them through cancerfoundation.org.au to verify your donor record and schedule.

What are the common amounts National Cancer Foundation charges donors?

Common one-off and monthly donation amounts are often in round figures such as AUD $10, $20, $30, $50, $100, or more, depending on what you selected on a donation form or appeal. Event registrations or merchandise may appear as different amounts that match ticket prices or purchase totals shown at checkout. If the amount on your statement doesn’t match what you expected, the Foundation’s supporter services team can review the transaction details with you and provide a copy of the receipt.

How can I cancel or pause my regular donation to National Cancer Foundation?

To change, pause, or cancel a recurring donation, contact National Cancer Foundation using the phone number or email address listed on the “Contact Us” page at cancerfoundation.org.au, or reply to any donation confirmation email you have received. Provide your full name, the email address you used when setting up the donation, and the approximate amount and date of your gifts so they can locate your record. Recurring donations are usually stopped before the next scheduled debit, but timing may depend on when your request is received in relation to your billing date.

How do I request a refund for a National Cancer Foundation charge I don’t recognise or made by mistake?

If you believe you were charged in error, made a duplicate donation, or don’t recognise a charge, contact National Cancer Foundation directly as soon as possible via the contact details on cancerfoundation.org.au. Charities generally have a donation and refund policy that allows them to review mistaken or unauthorised transactions on a case-by-case basis, and they may request basic information (name, date, amount, and last four digits of your card) to investigate. Do not share your full card number by email; if needed, they will arrange a secure way to confirm payment details.

Why do I see a small or pending amount from National Cancer Foundation that later disappears?

When you enter your card or update payment details on a donation form, your bank may display a small “pending” or $0–$1 test amount as an authorization hold. This is a standard security check to verify that your card is valid and that the payment gateway can process transactions. It should automatically drop off or be reversed within a few business days and is separate from any actual donation you made, which will appear as a separate, final charge.

I sponsored a friend’s fundraiser for National Cancer Foundation—will the charge show in their name or the charity’s name?

When you sponsor someone’s fundraising page that benefits National Cancer Foundation, the charge on your statement typically appears under the charity’s name (for example, “National Cancer Foundation” or a similar descriptor), sometimes with a reference to the fundraising platform. Your emailed receipt should clearly state that your payment supports National Cancer Foundation and may also mention the individual or event you sponsored. If the description on your statement is unclear, supporter services can confirm that your charge is linked to a particular fundraiser.

How can I get a copy of my donation receipt or annual giving summary from National Cancer Foundation?

Donation receipts are usually emailed automatically to the address you provided when giving online, registering for an event, or setting up regular donations. If you can’t find a receipt or need an annual summary for tax purposes, you can request one by contacting National Cancer Foundation via the contact details on cancerfoundation.org.au, providing your name, email, and approximate dates or amounts of your donations. They can then send you replacement receipts or a consolidated statement for the relevant financial year.
