Fundraising

Those who organize activities to benefit the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation (QBCF) make a commitment to send us partial or total funds raised. These funds are invested wisely to carry out our mission.

As a registered charity, the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation (QBCF) can issue tax receipts. A tax receipt is automatically issued to people who have made a donation of $25 or more. For donations of less than $25, a tax receipt will only be issued upon request.

The organizers of the activity must provide the QBCF with a complete list of donors which includes their personal information: first and last name, mailing address, method of payment and the amount of the donation. IMPORTANT: The organizers must check with the Foundation before promising tax receipts to donors, collaborators and participants, as some conditions apply.

Note that it is the QBCF that forwards the receipts to donors.

If you doubt the legitimacy of a fundraising activity, please check the list of activities. If the activity you’re wondering about is not listed, contact us at cercle@rubanrose.org or call 1 877 990-7171, extension 273.

First, we ask you to read the ABC of Fundraising and then to complete the Organize an Activity form. After submitting your proposal, you will receive an e-mail confirming the approval of your activity. At any time, you may contact our team at cercle@rubanrose.org or call 1 877 990-7171, extension 273.

The QBCF can give you advice and ideas to help you find potential partners. However, it is up to you to solicit these partners and do any subsequent follow up with them that may be necessary.

Upon request, we will be happy to provide you with a letter stating that the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation officially supports your initiative. This document can be very useful when presenting your fundraising activity to potential sponsors.

Of course! Once your activity is approved, you can order the Foundation’s small pink ribbons, balloons and educational material, free of charge.

Downloadable tools such as a web banner, a Facebook cover photo, a poster, etc. are also available to you once your activity has been approved.

Yes! For a list of available items, please contact us at cercle@rubanrose.org or call 1 877 990-7171, extension 273.

The Foundation does not endorse nor make any requests for a liquor or raffle license from the Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux (RACJ) for an event organized for its benefit by a third party. If you need a temporary alcohol or raffle sales licence, it is up to you to obtain it from the Régie.

If your activity takes place in a public place, an insurance certificate may be required. For more information contact us at cercle@rubanrose.org or call 1 877 990-7171, extension 273.

Absolutely! There is no limit to the amount you can raise. Once you have reached your goal, you will immediately receive an e-mail notification proposing that you continue to raise funds and exceed your goal.

The end date of your activity corresponds to the date you entered in your project proposal form. However, your fundraiser web page will be active for 90 days after the end of your activity, which means donations can still be made. Subsequently, the page will be available for consultation purposes only.

Contact us to help you set a realistic goal. Please note that if you need assistance, we’re at your disposal at any time while you’re organizing your activity. Regardless of the amount of money you raise, all funds donated to the QBCF contribute greatly to the breast cancer cause.
