Philanthropic partnerships
A philanthropic gift to Peter Mac can rapidly accelerate the pace of discovery, bringing us closer to transformational breakthroughs in cancer research, treatment and compassionate care.
Your investment has the power to change the lives of countless people affected by cancer. If you're considering a gift of $5,000 or more, our philanthropy team is here to help, and we're committed to understanding your personal values and aspirations so your gift can be aligned with what matters most to you.
Peter Mac partners with trusts and foundations that want to see the value of their impact are looking to make a transformational difference in cancer research and care.
Grants from philanthropic trusts and foundations allow us to invest in research initiatives, technology and support programs that fall outside existing government or philanthropic funding, in areas that align with your priorities.
A corporate partnership with Peter Mac connects your organisation with world-leading cancer research and gives your business a genuine, lasting role in improving patient outcomes. We shape each partnership around your goals, whether that's sponsorship, workplace giving, or a multi-year funding commitment.
Leaving a gift in your Will is a different kind of partnership: one that carries your values forward after you're gone. It costs nothing today, and it can fund research that changes outcomes for patients you'll never meet. Most supporters choose this path once their loved ones are provided for.
