Ways you can give

All our supporters are unique. However you prefer to give, we have a way that works for you.

Making giving personal

We know giving is hugely personal. Everyone's motivations are different, so we want you to give in the way that’s right for you. And we’ll help you maximise the impact of your support.

By giving to one of our funding priorities, you can choose how your donation is spent based on what’s most important to you.

You can also become a member of our Frontier Funders Club. You'll join a community of likeminded individuals changing cancer care for the better.

And whether you want to make a personal major gift or a regular donation, we'll help make your support reach even further. We can talk to you about tax efficient giving, or about donating to the Macmillan Endowment Fund which provides ongoing funding for our work so we can be there for generations to come.

Holly Hastings-Payne, Head of Philanthropy and High Value Events at Macmillan.

"Philanthropy is a hugely personal act. Individuals, families or independent boards of Trustees make careful decisions about the best way to help charities. In our case, they consider how they can help Macmillan continue to drive lasting change for people living with cancer.

"Working together to find solutions to some of society’s most pressing issues requires great kindness and generosity. It also requires time for reflection and challenge.

"As Head of Philanthropy and High Value Events at Macmillan, I am committed to ensuring that philanthropic individuals and organisations have the right opportunity, information, and support to make a positive difference. It’s crucial that our supporters understand the vital role they play in evolving the future of cancer care in the UK.

"If improving the lives of those affected by cancer is important to you, then we can work with you to achieve that. By working with us, Macmillan will:

  • provide you with more information about our work in detail
  • explore how your gift could make the biggest impact
  • connect you with specialists who provide hands-on care or with leading figures shaping the future of cancer support
  • help you to meet with like-minded individuals on a similar journey to you.

"Whatever your interest, we’ll work with you to ensure your donation helps deliver change in an area you’re passionate about. From sharing exclusive invitations to events to reporting on the impact of your giving, we’ll be with you every step of the way.

"By partnering with Macmillan, you can build your legacy as a change-maker and a positive influencer. You'll encourage others to follow in your footsteps, so that Macmillan can be there for everyone living with cancer, now and in the future."
