OxFam America - Donations
 |
Making a donation:
Oxfam welcomes support for both our emergency relief work through our Global Emergencies Fund as well as our ongoing poverty alleviation work. When making a donation you may elect to send it where it is needed most or specifically in support of the Oxfam’s Global Emergencies Fund. In a humanitarian crisis, 90% or more of donations go to help those affected by the disaster.

Please note: Oxfam America is not accepting material donations such as food, clothing, and household goods. While Oxfam does ship some specially designed emergency equipment to affected areas, we prefer to purchase many other supplies locally. By infusing financial aid directly into the local area, it strengthens the economy and helps it recover more quickly. Shipping goods overseas can also increase traffic at ports, and slows the delivery of other needed supplies.
Expanding your efforts:
Consider raising money through your friends and other personal networks: at your work, place of worship, schools, and in your neighborhood.
If you choose to raise funds in your community, remember to:
* make sure that all checks are made out to Oxfam America.
* for people who would like a receipt for tax deduction purposes, send us a list including names, addresses, phone numbers, amounts donated, and the dates of donation;
* print out Oxfam materials from our website to hand out.
You can find out what Oxfam is doing with your donations by checking our web site, and learn how we are providing clean water, household supplies, temporary shelter and latrines, as well as the essential work of starting the process of reconstruction. Your fundraising efforts can also help educate people about how Oxfam does its emergency work.
