Almost every Australian knows someone whose life has been touched by breast cancer. A mother, a sister, a friend, a colleague. It is one of the reasons the National Breast Cancer Foundation is one of the four charities you can support with every Kind Hearts gift.
Who is the National Breast Cancer Foundation?
The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is Australia's leading not-for-profit organisation funding world-class breast cancer research. Its vision is simple and ambitious: zero deaths from breast cancer.
Since 1994, NBCF has funded more than 1,800 Australian researchers, supporting discoveries in prevention, early detection, treatment and life after diagnosis. NBCF is community funded, which means its research depends on the generosity of everyday Australians.
Why research matters
Every day, around 56 people in Australia are diagnosed with breast cancer. Research is what turns that number into better outcomes: earlier detection, kinder treatments and more people living well after a diagnosis. Australia has come a long way, and NBCF-funded research has played an important part. But there is still work to do until no one dies from this disease.
How your gift helps
When you choose the National Breast Cancer Foundation in your cart, 10% of your gift price goes to NBCF. We add up every order and pay the charity in full each month.
It is a meaningful choice for:
- A friend going through treatment, or celebrating the end of it.
- Honouring someone you have lost to breast cancer.
- Mother's Day, birthdays and thank-yous for the women who mean the most to you.
- Workplaces that want to show their support, especially during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.
Gift ideas
Soft pinks are a natural fit. Our "From the Heart" hamper pairs pink blooms with a candle, and "Pretty as a Picture" brings together pink lilies and roses. For someone recovering at home, "Time for You" is a gentle flowers and self-care box.
