I love your online gift-giving options! Thanks for making it so easy to donate in honor of my loved ones. I did Oxfam gifts for all of my adult family members for the holidays last year, and this year... See more

I was going to make up a collection of Oxfam Gifts to "buy" this year -- like the one-family emergency kit, school supplies, blankets, mosquito nets... But then I got word that someone was matching... See more

Oxfam gifts are win-win-win

Oxfam gifts are great: the giver and the receiver “win” (who needs more “stuff”?), as do those on behalf of whom Oxfam invites us to join them in working. There are gifts that fit many budgets and interests, gifts that offer immediate and long-term help for individuals and/or communities, gifts that offer direct aid and those that support advocacy to address suffering and injustice from a systemic perspective, too.

good descriptions of a variety of projects that can be donated to. I "purchased" 3 gift (cards) for 3 different people with different interests. Having the gifts matched was a motivation to give on Giving Tuesday.

My only complaint is that it is not possible to buy an e-gift for delivery later. For example, if I want to send an e-gift for delivery on 22 December, I can’t find a way to do that on your website. That should be possible. It is too early to send a Christmas e-gift right now. Regards, Paul Deemer

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your support and for taking the time to share this feedback! At the moment, we are not able to send eCards at a later date, the eCards are automatically sent after you submit your order. An option that might work better for you is to select the PDF card option, then print and mail the card closer to your intended delivery date!

Best wishes,
Donor Relations Team

Worked way too long to give not as much as I wanted, SHAME ON YOU!

I worked on your site for way too long. I have never worked so long to give to a charity. SHAME ON YOU! I wanted to give more but the site was so confusing that I couldn't figure out how to do it. I've a Masters' so no dummy so how has this site worked for you? I had wanted to give the donation as a gift but that didn't come up for me to do so. I was given an option even and filled out the e card but could not put the two together. Wow! You are such a good charity but I think your site is really letting you down. How embarrassing to have this gift but no way to give it to my son for Christmas. Do I send him the receipt?

I donated for a toilet

I donated for a toilet. I was sold on the description of how toilets are a social as well as a public health necessity, and I decided that the money I had planned to donate for some good cause would be best spent on a gift of a toilet. I have donated to Oxfam for years, and I am always confident that my donations will be well spent.

I think that Oxfam provides the most helpful basic needs such as the toilets for which I gave a contribution to install two toilets for people who need them in the world. I don't know of other groups that supply this needed structure as a consistent part of what they provide. Thank you for doing this. Cheryl Bukoff
