Philanthropy

Our dedicated and specialist team works closely with philanthropists, whether they are private individuals, family offices, trusts or foundations, to make a vital and meaningful difference to the lives of people affected by cancer.

Give to something important

Whatever the size of your donation, your generosity will help us to make a real difference to the lives of millions of people affected by cancer.

Between £200,000 and £600,000 could pay for a new chemotherapy suite in a local hospital.
£158,159 could pay for a Macmillan nurse for three years, helping people living with cancer and their families receive essential medical, practical and emotional support. (After that our partner organisations, such as the NHS, continue to fund Macmillan professionals).
£34,202 could pay for a Macmillan cancer information and support specialist for a year. This would mean more people affected by cancer would have someone to answer their questions and talk to about their concerns.
£12,115 could operate our phone service for a day. In this time, our cancer support specialists could answer 387 calls and emails from people who want questions answered, need practical or financial support, or just want to chat.
£4,000 could pay for the translation of one of our cancer publications into Welsh and the redesign of it.
£1,862 could help run a small Macmillan information and support centre for a week.

Individual philanthropists

Our dedicated team will assist in providing you the information to ensure your gifts are directed to the element of our work that suits your needs and those of people affected by cancer.

Whether you wish to support a local need or one of our national projects, a Macmillan professional will support you in your decision. Our commitment to you is in providing timely and accurate reporting of the impact your gift can bring.

Trusts and foundations

Our dedicated team works closely with our Charitable Trusts and Foundations partners to ensure that your funds are directed to vital projects that fulfil your wishes.

We have a very wide range of projects that need funding across the country whether you wish your gift to be restricted to a specific project or area, or whether you can allow us to use it where the need is greatest. We strive to keep you updated in the most appropriate way possible on the impact your gift has made, to ensure you feel great about your decision to invest in us.
