What is ACRF Accelerate?
ACRF Accelerate is our structured philanthropic initiative. ACRF Accelerate uses the generous support from people like yourself, willing to make a contribution of at least $5,000, guided by a dedicated relationship manager to back significant life-saving cancer research projects within Australia.
Why Philanthropic giving?
Philanthropic contributions are essential to accelerate progress and improve outcomes for those diagnosed with cancer. By backing brilliant cancer research through ACRF Accelerate, you are funding entire programs of pioneering cancer research.

“We know from cancer researchers that access to better technology and equipment is the key to significantly shifting the dial to improve the prevention, detection and treatment of all cancers. We look forward to working with you to secure a better future. ”

Why ACRF Accelerate

Researchers tell us that it’s the technology that drives the innovations and breakthroughs in cancer research. Since 1984 we have provided $204 million to 90 projects within 44 organisations through the generosity of all our supporters working together towards a world without cancer. 

The ACRF Medical Research Advisory Committee comprises world-renowned scientists and clinicians who ensure only the most deserving of projects are funded. Ultimately this gives you comfort that your donation will result in real, measurable benefits for those diagnosed with or at risk of cancer.

With input from health economics specialists, we have developed a model to articulate the impact of our supported projects. This will help you understand the value of your support and how it contributes socially, scientifically and economically.

Customised experience and involvement

With a minimum contribution of $5,000 you can select which program to pledge your support to, or you can share your contribution across all projects through ‘untied funding’, in a bespoke approach that best aligns with your wishes. 

We’ll keep you informed of progress, but you may want to go a little deeper in your understanding of the research by attending special events and tours. Your dedicated relationship manager will tailor your preferences in line with your wishes.

“Having supported ACRF for a decade, what attracted me were 1) leveraging donations for best ‘bang for the buck’, 2) application of good science and 3) seeing where the money is spent. Finally, I want to ensure those with cancer are given the best chance.”
Natasha Lee, Supporter, & Natasha Lee Foundation
“We chose ACRF specifically as it is one of the Sunrise Foundation’s goals to provide philanthropic support to agencies that ensure monies received are directed efficiently where they are needed the most – i.e. with the least amount of cost. Supporting the dedicated pursuit of knowledge through research is one small way that we feel we can help to make a difference.”
– Sunrise Foundation Family
“A number of years ago, I was looking for a worthy charity to donate money to. I looked at a number of charities and ACRF stood out in the crowd due to the way they engage with their donors. I have supported them ever since. I believe that scientists, doctors and researchers benefit society in an immeasurable way and I see we can create real change through research.”
– Andrew Czarnecki, ACRF Supporter
“With Accelerate you get to see what the aim of the particular research is and where it is going to, you get to see the people behind it, it tells you the impact it has on an individual, the impact it has on families; all the things you don’t really take into consideration when someone is suffering a cancer.”
– Gordon Jackson, ACRF Supporter
Victoria Bonsey
