What is CAN GIVE DAY?

CAN GIVE DAY: Join us on Thursday, 26 September!

Get ready for an extraordinary day of generosity and community spirit through Canberra Hospital Foundation's flagship fundraising event, CAN GIVE DAY!

This incredible day is dedicated to supporting the patients and families of Canberra and the surrounding regions while celebrating the hard work and dedication of our healthcare teams. 

Healthcare touches all our lives. Every year, over 500,000 people from Canberra and nearby regions rely on public healthcare services. As a result, almost everyone in Canberra will, at some point, benefit from the incredible work of our healthcare workers.

Every dollar donated directly impacts your community. And, your dollar donated on CAN GIVE DAY can have double the impact! Thanks to our generous matched donors, your donations on CAN GIVE DAY, will be doubled by our matching fund - until these funds are fully exhausted.This means your $1 becomes $2, $25 becomes $50, and $50 becomes $100! Your contribution will go twice as far in making a difference.

Contributions will fund essential research, therapeutic programs, enhanced patient spaces, and state-of-the-art medical equipment. Your donation ensures year-round improvements in care and comfort for those who need it most.

I CAN, you CAN, we all CAN GIVE this Thursday, 26 September!
