Philanthropy and major gifts

Working together to change lives.

We're working everyday to bring advances in care closer for everyone with NF, but we can't do it alone.

We rely on the generosity of those who share our vision, making philanthropy and major giving essential to our fundraising efforts as it helps us scale existing programs and plan for the future with confidence.

Together, we can create a future filled with hope and support for those living with this devastating condition.

Why are major gifts important?

Major gifts are substantial contributions that play a pivotal role in advancing the mission of CTF. In essence, major gifts are the lifeblood of CTF, as they provide the financial means to fulfill our mission, expand our impact, and create enduring relationships with individuals and organizations who share our passion for making a difference in the lives of NF patients and their families.

These generous donations, often exceeding $5,000, are vital to CTF for several reasons:

  • Financial Backbone: They serve as a strong financial foundation, allowing CTF to continue its critical work in supporting individuals and families affected by NF.
  • Empowering Growth: These gifts empower CTF to expand its services, reach more individuals in need, and invest in long-term sustainability, thereby increasing our impact on those living with NF.
  • Reliable Support: They provide a stable and dependable source of funding, reducing the vulnerability to economic fluctuations faced by charities relying solely on smaller donations.
  • Amplifying Advocacy: Major donors often bring attention and credibility to our cause, attracting additional support and partners who share our dedication to NF awareness and research.
  • Fostering Innovation: They enable us to fund innovative projects, research endeavours, and support programs that push the boundaries of NF research and care, ultimately improving the lives of those affected by the condition.

Do you want to support CTF in this life-changing way?

We welcome all interest from our supporters and would love the opportunity to talk through what a potential partnership between us could look like.

We want to work with you to ensure that your support has a meaningful impact on our NF community, and we would look to do this by:

  • Understanding your motivation: All of our generous supporters would have their own reasons and motivations for supporting those living with NF. By aligning your intentions and motivations with our greatest needs, we can ensure that your contribution has a profound impact while staying trye to your values.
  • Connecting you to the cause: When we can show you the amazing difference your generous gift is making to those living with NF, we know you will feel a sense of pride and joy for helping us in this way. As such, we would endeavour to involve you as much as possible in the process so that you can see firsthand the difference you are making.
  • Transparent Impact Measurement: We will provide regular updates through meetings, impact reports, and acquittal reports which will enable you to see the real impact of your gift.
If this sounds like something you, your family or your organisation are in a position to help with, we would love to hear from you. Please contact our Fundraising team either by phone, 02 9713 6111 or by email, fundraising@ctf.org.au – we look forward to working with you.
