Fundraise with us

Start a fundraiser for free cancer education

Turn a moment that matters to you into clear answers for someone facing cancer. Every fundraiser — big or small — helps keep 1,400+ plain-language guides free and ad-free for the people who need them.

Ways people fundraise

There’s no wrong occasion. Here are the four we see most.

Birthday fundraiser

Instead of gifts, ask friends and family to chip in toward free cancer guides. One of the easiest ways to turn a celebration into something lasting.

Memorial or tribute

Honor someone you love by helping the next family find clear answers. We can set up a dedicated page in their name, with a message from you.

Run, walk, or challenge

Racing a 5K, walking every day for a month, or taking on a personal challenge? Let your miles raise support for plain-language cancer education.

Workplace drive

Rally your team around a giving goal — a casual-dress day, a bake sale, or a simple team page. Many employers will match what your team raises, too.

How it works

  1. 1. Pick an occasion

    A birthday, a memorial, a race, a team goal — anything that matters to you works.

  2. 2. Set a goal

    Any amount helps. Even a modest goal keeps dozens of plain-language guides free and ad-free.

  3. 3. Share your link

    We'll set up a simple donation link or page for your fundraiser. Share it with friends, family, or coworkers however you like.

  4. 4. We celebrate you

    We'll thank you and your donors, share what your fundraiser made possible, and — if you'd like — recognize your fundraiser publicly.

An honest note about setup

We’re a small nonprofit, so we don’t have a self-serve fundraiser builder yet. Instead, a real person helps you set everything up by email — your page or link, your goal, and any tribute wording — usually within a day or two. It’s personal, and we like it that way.
