Funeral arranger Angelia Jordan said it had been stolen while she was discussing funeral arrangements with a family.
The money was due to be shared between the Woodside Bereavement Service, Breakthrough Breast Cancer, and the estate's Brenda Kirby Cancer Centre.
Mrs Kirby is the former New Addington councillor in whose honour the centre was established.
She said last week: "Nobody is hugely well off around here but it is a really strong community and what they have they share.
"I just hope whoever took it was desperate, but nothing excuses interrupting a bereaved family.
"If anyone knows anything, tell us. Tell anybody. I am sure it will get through to the right people – they can do it anonymously if they want."

“This happened in our shop last week too. He was an eastern european looking man wearing a big cream puffa jacket and a red wooly hat. He came in and handed us lottery slips and when he put them on the desk he stole my mobile phone from right next to me! We didnt realise at first what he had done because we just found it weird that a random man came into our shop (a beauty salon) giving us empty lottery slips but when we did it was too late and he was gone!”
