help Oxfam FAQ

Is Oxfam one charity or a group of organizations?

Oxfam is an international confederation made up of affiliated organizations working with partners around the world. National affiliates, such as Oxfam GB and Oxfam America, operate within that wider network.

What does Oxfam do during a humanitarian emergency?

Its emergency work can include clean water, sanitation, food assistance and support for displaced communities. Oxfam also undertakes longer-term development and advocacy work addressing inequality and poverty.

Are donations to Oxfam tax-deductible?

Tax treatment depends on the national affiliate receiving the donation and the donor's country. For example, US donors should use Oxfam America and review the receipt and applicable US tax rules.

Where can donors check how Oxfam spends its money?

Oxfam International and its national affiliates publish annual reports, accounts and governance information. Because affiliates are separate legal entities, donors should inspect the report for the organization to which they actually contributed.
