Every day, a child in Sweden is diagnosed with cancer. The child's family and loved ones are also affected. For over 40 years, the Swedish Childhood Cancer Fund has been committed to stand by their side. This would not have been possible without our donors. Thank you for your support!
Every krona makes a difference
Thanks to generous contributions from individuals, companies, and organizations, the Swedish Childhood Cancer Fund is the largest financier of childhood cancer research in Sweden.
What Your Donation Supports
Research and Education
The largest portion of your donation goes towards research and education. One of our primary focus areas is funding the most advanced and relevant research in the field of childhood cancer. We also invest in infrastructure and innovation projects, such as biobanks, the Swedish Childhood Cancer Registry, GMS Childhood Cancer, and BrainChild.
Advice and Support
The Swedish Childhood Cancer Fund consists of six regional associations and a national federation. These six associations provide local support during the most challenging times. Together, we offer immediate and long-term support for children, families, and survivors to ensure the best possible care and quality of life. This includes support groups, sibling supporters, consulting nurses, activities, and recreation.
Information and Advocacy
To improve the conditions for those affected by childhood cancer and its consequences, we disseminate knowledge and help the world understand and take responsibility for their situation through information, inspiration, and dialogue.
Administration and Fundraising
Managing our collected funds so that every penny makes the biggest difference possible is a crucial part of our mission. Administration guarantees quality for both the purpose and the donor. Fundraising costs are necessary to generate our revenue, including expenses for advertisements, salaries, and thank-you letters. This ensures high-quality internal control and reporting at the Swedish Childhood Cancer Fund, both externally and internally.
With your donation, we can finance the following in 2024
204 ongoing research projects at a total of 10 universities and university hospitals
116 ongoing research positions
27 consulting nurses and sibling supporters
52 open weeks at Almers House, a place for valuable respite and recreation in the town of Varberg.
Your donation is handled responsibly
The management of our collected funds is governed by the Swedish Childhood Cancer Fund's fundraising policy, the regulations of the Swedish Fundraising Control, and our membership in Giva Sverige and its quality code. The quality code is an industry code for organizations with private funding, based on a framework for ethical fundraising and transparent and professional management within non-profit organizations
