When you donate monthly, you'll be a St. Jude Partner In Hope, meaning you're part of a special community who is committed to saving children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a philanthropic giving vehicle that provides an immediate tax benefit to you, and allows you to recommend grants to charities of your choice over time.
You can give through individual retirement accounts (IRAs), gift annuities, stocks, life insurance, bequests, real estate and more.
Donate cars, trailers, boats and more through Charitable Adult Rides and Services (CARS).
Donation FAQs
-
It will cost approximately $1 billion to operate St. Jude this year and the majority of that must come from generous donors. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent when we opened to more than 80 percent today.
And, no family ever receives a bill from St. Jude — not for the cost of treatment, travel, housing and food because we believe all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
-
For the past seven years, 82 cents of every dollar received has gone to support the treatment, research and future needs of St. Jude.
Since St. Jude is a childhood cancer charity, the majority of funds needed to operate and sustain St. Jude must be raised from generous donors. In addition, we also receive some revenue from insurance recoveries, research grant funding and returns on our investments.
When you look at total revenue, ALSAC and St. Jude are proud that 82 cents of every dollar received has gone to support patients and research at St. Jude today and in the future. Thirteen cents of every dollar supports fundraising efforts, such as events like the national St. Jude Walk/Run and advertising to help spread awareness of our lifesaving mission. Five cents of every dollar supports administration costs.

Thank you for your interest, but St. Jude does not have a program to collect aluminum can tabs. If you wish, you may recycle your tabs locally and donate proceeds to St. Jude.
Many of our patients and their families stay at our local Ronald McDonald House here in Memphis, and Ronald McDonald House Charities collect aluminum can tabs. We recommend contacting your local Ronald McDonald House for more information.
