Donation FAQS

How is my donation used?

The American Cancer Society makes significant investments in cancer research, advocacy, and patient support, including information and education on prevention and early detection as well as treatment options. A smaller portion of our resources are used to fund our management and general expenses, as well as fundraising expenses.

Are donations made to the American Cancer Society tax deductible?

Yes, monetary donations to our organization are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. However, certain donations in which the donor receives a good or service in return for a donation are not tax deductible or may be only partially deductible. This would apply to American Cancer Society initiatives such as the Cars For a Cure program, Golf Pass programs, and Discovery Shop purchases. Donors should consult with their tax advisors if they have questions about their deductions.

Can I make a donation in honor or memory of someone?

It’s easy to celebrate the life of a friend or loved one by making a donation to the American Cancer Society in their honor or memory. Simply select the checkbox to dedicate your donation and complete the dedication information on the donation form. Once you’ve completed the donation, you will have the opportunity to send a card to the honoree or family acknowledging your gift.

Why should I donate monthly?

Monthly giving to the American Cancer Society is simply the best investment you can make to help create a cancer-free future. It’s the most effective and manageable way to support our efforts to help save lives from cancer. Your support helps fund lifesaving research and provides essential programs for prevention and early detection, patient support, and the trusted information cancer patients and their families need.

All monthly charges occur on the 15th of each month. Your first online gift won't be charged to your card until the 15th. All subsequent charges will occur on the 15th of each month.
