One hundred percent of every donation goes to children with terminal stages of cancer and their families in need. Our operations are paid for separately — not by donors — so the dollar you give is the dollar that arrives.
Taken from donations for operations.
When a child is in treatment, one parent usually has to stop working. Sometimes both. Rent still shows up. Groceries still need to happen.
Hospitals are far. Families end up living out of hotels for weeks at a time. Gas, food, parking — it adds up faster than people think.
Most charities take a cut for operations. We didn't want to do that. So we built something that doesn't.
You donate. The money goes to families. Our sponsors pay for the behind-the-scenes — wages, software, accounting, this website — not donors. Your dollar does NOT become sixty cents by the time it reaches someone who needs it.
Straight line. Nothing in between.
Covered entirely by sponsors. Not by donors.
An honest scenario.
No names. No photographs.
Afamily in Edmonton. Their six-year-old started chemo in Calgary. Mom hasn't worked in three months. Dad drives three hundred kilometres every weekend.
That's who your hundred dollars goes to.

Not vague categories. If we can't tell you exactly what it paid for, we won't list it.
For a family whose kid is in treatment far from home.
So nobody has to choose between food and parking.
Driving to and from the hospital adds up fast.
Near treatment centres.
A small thing. Helps more than you'd think.
When something unexpected lands on a family already stretched thin.
Direct support for children's hospital programs in Alberta.
No big launch. No gala. No board of directors taking six-figure salaries. Just a clear rule: one hundred percent goes to families. Everything else is paid for separately.
CTN and our sponsors cover our operations end to end — wages, software, accounting, legal, this website — not donors. That's the only reason the 100% model works, and it's the reason we built the charity inside it.
If that sounds too simple, good. It's supposed to be.
Every dollar in, every dollar out. We'll publish quarterly reports with real numbers. No buried line items. No "program expenses" that are actually salaries.
We're new, so there isn't much to show yet. We'd rather say that honestly than pad a page with charts that don't mean anything.
First report drops after our first full quarter. Email us and we'll send it.
