As Canada’s largest national cancer charity, the Canadian Cancer Society funds cancer research, offers cancer support services and shares trusted information. Canadian Cancer Society is classified as a health organization registered in Netherlands.
Canadian Cancer Society is registered in the Netherlands. Canadian Cancer Society has ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) status, so donations are tax-deductible. You can deduct gifts that exceed 1% of your threshold income (minimum 60 euros). Periodic gifts (committed for 5+ years) are fully deductible without threshold.
You can verify Canadian Cancer Society's legal status in three ways. First, look up the RSIN directly on the Belastingdienst ANBI register: https://www.belastingdienst.nl/wps/wcm/connect/nl/aftrek-en-kortingen/content/anbi-status-controleren and enter 823912188. The result page confirms whether the organisation currently holds ANBI status - a prerequisite for tax-deductible donations in the Netherlands. Second, search the Kamer van Koophandel public registry at https://www.kvk.nl/zoeken/ - the KvK record shows the legal form (Stichting / Vereniging / Coöperatie), registered address, board composition (where disclosed), and the date of incorporation. Third, every ANBI is legally required by the publicatieplicht to publish on its own website: the policy plan, financial statements, an overview of activities, board composition, and remuneration policy. A working ANBI page with current financials is the strongest signal of legitimacy beyond the registry. If all three sources agree on name, address and ANBI status, the organisation is legitimate.
You can donate to Canadian Cancer Society directly through its donation page (https://donate.cancer.ca/-/XCSPXDXX?clickedElement=Tribute_MobileButton_CTA&recurring=once). Dutch charities typically accept iDEAL (the standard Dutch online-banking payment method), Tikkie payment requests, Bancontact for cross-border donors, SEPA bank transfer to the organisation's IBAN (account numbers starting with NL), and online payment processors (Mollie, Stripe). Many larger Dutch charities use platforms like Geef.nl, GeefSamen, Kentaa, and Pifworld for online fundraising. International donors can give via SEPA (the Netherlands is in the eurozone, so intra-EU transfers are cheap), PayPal, or GlobalGiving. For donations to count as a 'periodieke gift' - fully tax-deductible without a threshold - a written agreement (overeenkomst periodieke gift) committing for at least five years is required. Always confirm the recipient's RSIN and ANBI status before sending funds intended for the tax deduction.
As an ANBI, Canadian Cancer Society is legally required to publish the following information on its own website, free of charge and without a login (the 'publicatieplicht' obligation under Uitvoeringsregeling AWR 1994 art. 1a): the policy plan, an overview of the past year's activities, the financial statements (balance sheet, profit-and-loss, explanatory notes), board composition with names, and the remuneration policy for directors and key staff. Larger ANBIs (turnover above €50,000) must also publish a fuller financial report using the Belastingdienst's standard ANBI publication form. If you cannot find these documents on the organisation's website, that is a red flag worth raising with the board before donating.

1.5 / 5 average · includes imported Trustpilot
I'm pretty sure they do a great job supporting lives of million but on the other hand, once you have donated, you'll end up receiving numerous emails without being able to (really) opt out. I've asked to opt out for months and I keep on receiving solicitations.

It's a scam. Canadian Cancer Society has more than 650 employees with 10 of which earn more than $160,000 per year. Yet, try to apply for assistance. My mom who has leukemia (cancer of the blood) needed assistance to get her daily injections at a hospital 110 km away (in Ottawa). She was told there are no volunteer drivers in her area. Then they talked about travel assistance refund program to help pay for gas but that thing has more conditions than your income tax. Any family members residing with mom annual income counts towards my mom's income so basically, no way most can quality. Thing is, cancer society doesn't declare those they refuse or disqualify. They show a small sample of folks that get "assistance" from the volunteer workers to justify government subsidies. It's a scam!

If you keep sending me $50.00 worth of useless junk for my $25.00 donation, you won't be getting my $25.00. Why don't you put the $50.00 in to research????
Trustpilot
They clearly state that when you donated they sell your information meaning you receive endless telemarketing calls.
