The story of our future starts with you. Want us to keep you updated by text message? Provide us with your mobile phone number. We believe poverty is wrong , and that it is not an inevitable fact of life. We help people build better futures for themselves, hold the powerful accountable , and save lives in disasters.
Our mission is to tackle the root causes of poverty and create lasting solutions, a mission more crucial than ever during the COVID pandemic. Oxfam America is accredited by leading independent charity evaluators, including the BBB Wise Giving Alliance , a standards-based evaluator focusing on trust. Oxfam has also achieved the highest Platinum level transparency and accountability status with GuideStar , a philanthropic research organization that provides unbiased non-profit information for donors.
These rankings place Oxfam among an elite group of charitable organizations nationally. We know how important it is to spend every dollar wisely ; the more efficient we are, the farther your dollar goes, and the more people we can help. We provide local partners grants for their anti-poverty programs and work with them to build alliances, networks, and effective organizations that will eventually be self-sufficient. Most importantly, we work with our partners to learn; what they teach us about the best solutions to poverty is just as valuable as the funding and collaboration we provide them.
When someone is denied the right to own land, the right to education, access to basic services like clean water , a fair price for the crops they grow, or a fair wage for the work they do , the result is poverty.
Fighting injustice is an essential means to ending poverty. Our local partners do the work, so the results are theirs. Locally informed and locally driven solutions to poverty are the best solutions—the most sustainable and the most appropriate—because they come from the people who can keep the initiatives going after Oxfam and its funding goes away.
Poverty makes people vulnerable to calamities—from armed conflicts to earthquakes. Poverty forces people to live in violent areas or to build their houses with flimsy materials in locations vulnerable to floods and landslides. Oxfam works with a global network of local organizations to address urgent humanitarian needs and protect lives when disaster strikes. We deliver clean water, food, cash, and information to communities made vulnerable by climate change, gender-based violence, exploitation, illness, and war—working closely with local leaders who know how best to help people in need.
Oxfam works to dismantle unequal systems that perpetuate poverty and injustice, rejecting the extreme concentration of wealth and power that drives inequality. We fight for everyone to pay their fair share of taxes and for companies to provide a living wage. We work to solve the care crisis and push for climate action, for a healthy and sustainable food system, and for the rights of workers, women, and farmers who source the food and make the products we enjoy.
Inequality sits at the intersection of our work. We critically examine how this root cause of poverty and injustice shapes disparities around gender, race, and wealth. We make lasting change happen by bringing people together, connecting legislators and leaders in the private and public sectors with communities directly affected by poverty and injustice. We fight efforts by elites to divide us based on race, gender, nationality, and class so that no one goes to bed hungry and everyone has an equal chance to succeed.
