FAQ
How does my donation or the money I have raised make a difference?
In the 2021-22 financial year, Oxfam reached more than 8 million people worldwide. This includes the 2.6 million people in East Africa who were given life-saving assistance. We helped improve lives in the long term, through projects that address people's right to be heard, sustainable food, gender justice, and more. We can't do it without the generosity of people like you.
Can I choose to donate money to a specific project, country or item?
When you donate to Oxfam, the money will be allocated to 'general funds' which allows us to focus on where the need is greatest and respond immediately to changing priorities and global situations. It is vital that we are able to spend money where it is most needed at any given time.
However, it is possible for you to specify if you would like your donation to be spent on a particular emergency appeal.
You can also buy specific poverty-busting items and activities through the Oxfam Unwrapped virtual gift catalogue.
Why does Oxfam spend money on fundraising?
We spend money on fundraising for the sole purpose of raising more money. For every £1 that we spend on fundraising we aim to raise £5.
