The Canadian Cancer Society's telefundraising (or telemarketing) program aims to secure long-term monthly donations from people all across Canada. Monthly donations provide the Canadian Cancer Society with the ability to plan ahead and provide ongoing funding for research projects, information and support and prevention and advocacy initiatives. 

Join our monthly giving program

With nearly half of Canadians expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, we are seeking passionate monthly donors to support our vital work. Steady funding from monthly donations supports long-term research that saves lives, and funds information and a support system that delivers compassionate care to Canadians with cancer, and their caregivers, friends and families year-round. 

We work with our internal teams, Inspire Direct Marketing, Stratcom,  GlobalFaces Direct and CanadaDirect to make sure all our fundraisers are trained with the most up-to-date information about the Canadian Cancer Society. This way they are able to answer any questions you may have.

 Telefundraising program Frequently Asked Questions

To learn more about our telefundraising program, view our Frequently Asked Questions below.

Telefundraising is a great way to reach out to people in communities all across Canada. It helps ensure that the Canadian Cancer Society can generate steady revenue for our vital programs. With the help of telefundraisers, we can enrich relationships with our existing donors and raise awareness of our programs so that more people will know who to turn to if they need our help.
We work with internal CCS teams and the following agencies:
The telefundraisers are compensated with an hourly rate. They are not volunteers and they do not collect commission.
 
We take the security of your personal details very seriously and have measures in place to protect them. Our telefundraising partners are compliant under the PCI Industry Data Security Standards and adhere to a strict set of rules and regulations regarding credit card information.

At CCS, we are making a real impact in saving and improving the lives of everyone affected by cancer in Canada.

Our bold approach to funding innovative, world-leading research is making life better today while transforming the future of cancer forever. Last year, we funded 223 talented lead researchers and 119 clinical trials. Life-saving research is taking place in hospitals and cancer centres across the country. See our impact report to learn more.

We provide trusted information and compassionate support programs nationwide, including cancer information through cancer.ca, transportation services to help get to and from treatment, our toll-free helpline, and an online support community.

Our advocacy efforts benefit people from coast to coast to coast. CCS works with governments to bring about healthy public policies, such as successfully advocating for an extension of the Employment Insurance (EI) sickness benefit from 15 to 26 weeks so that people with cancer have more time to focus on treatment and recovery.

Please know that we take great care and concern with regard to every dollar that is donated to our organization. Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, we invest in world-leading research, offer compassionate support programs, and advocate on the most pressing areas of cancer policy. Transparency and accountability are essential to our mission. We manage and report on our financial affairs responsibly and comply with related governance practices.

We file an annual Registered Charity Information Return (T3010) to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and our financial statements are available on our website.
