About us

Our mission is "Every child and their family walking the child cancer journey will never feel alone."

We are committed to supporting children and their families through this traumatic and challenging journey.  From the time of diagnosis, throughout the journey of treatments and subsequently the transition back into the community, the Foundation is there to offer support and care to all members of the family.

The Foundations’ support includes those families facing the palliative stage of treatment and those dealing with the loss of a child.

More than 150 children in New Zealand are diagnosed with cancer each year and the Foundation can support up to 900 families at one time.
 

Who we are

The Child Cancer Foundation is a not-for-profit charity that provides emotional, practical and financial support to children and their families affected by child cancer.  The government does not contribute anything towards the $3 million needed each year, so the Foundation relies on the generosity of individuals and organisations in the New Zealand community to continue its work for families.
 

Where your donation goes

As a charity transparency is important to us. 100% of an individual’s donation goes directly to support children and their families on their child cancer journey.
