About us

Our mission is to help ensure no child or their family walking the childhood cancer journey should ever 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 $5 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 money goes

As a charity transparency is important to us.  Donors’ contributions are allocated to the individual needs of a family affected by child cancer and help us to raise the next dollar.
