Who is the Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre Trust Fund?
The Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre Trust Fund was established by the Albury Wodonga Cancer Foundation to raise money for cancer services in our region.
A high level local board from business, industry and government oversees the Trust Fund. The board is responsible for the good governance of the Trust Fund which is also supported by a part-time manager, part-time administration officer, volunteer community ambassadors known as “Cancer Pals” and a team of dedicated fundraisers who sit on a volunteer committee.
With tax deductibility and gift recipient status, the board ensures that donations from individuals and businesses in the community are directed solely to support cancer services in the Albury Wodonga region.
The Trust Fund is fully transparent and accountable to the community through external audits, publication of an annual report and community consultations.
