Oxfam America Reviews 

Any organization that refers to women as “pregnant people” should not receive donations, ever. Then again, most international aid organizations are wasteful, useless and corrupt so it’s very fitting. Don’t donate to these types of organizations, especially child sponsorship which is a total sham.

After being a monthly contributor for a year, I realized that Oxfam had sold my personal information to a large group of other non-profit companies, without my consent. I know that Oxfam did it because I used with them a different version of my surname that only Oxfam had. Now, I constantly get bombarded by 3rd party mails in my letterbox, and I have to optout to each one individually, and expect a new organization every week. Very sad that my money to them is not enough.

7-8 years ago I tried to set up something similar in nature in Nicaragua. The strategy was pretty simple; 1. buy a couple of cows. 2. rent some land to keep the cows. 3. hire someone to take care of the cows 4. sell at rock bottom price or give away any resulting calves to the hired caretakers. And for the locals it just didn't make sense, it was something different, something NOT normal, and the end result was constant friction and barriers. (Why do you want to buy cows? But you don't live here all the time... Who's going to watch your cows when you're away? You won't be able to check to see that your cows are being cared for.... and on and on) Ya know I wanted to help, but I wasn't going to just hand out $$. These things are difficult, and just 'cuz you have a noble cause doesn't translate into understanding, cooperation, and support at the local level. So when I first read about Oxfam I was gob-smacked. Here is an organization that persevered in helping people help themselves. To say the least I'm very impressed. Keep goin' guys and gals, you're doing great work.

I know Oxfam does a good job researching how charitable entities do in their transparency, % of funds rec'd that go to actual service, or marketing, or administrative salaries/expenses. So I'm confident my giving really helps!

Great cause. Will donate again.

Good info reply to keep updated on recipients

Peaceful, respectful of the people you help, not as objects, but as relatives in one human family. Blessings.

Looks like you have a great diverse programs for helping people around the world.

It was very easy to donate. Also, gratitude was shown immediately which is nice. Not all charities do this.

It was easy to make this worthwhile donation.

The work you on the ground is admirable. However, since I donated to you a week or so ago, you have sent me two rather peremptory demands for a review. Such demands (not requests) are insane giving the timing of my donation. I find your behavior so annoying that I will be sure to tell others about it. I will NOT donate again.

I had a very good experience with you, and I give you five stars.

I believe this is the first time donating to Oxfam America. I have always read or heard only positive things about your organization, your integrity and commitment to serving others.God Bless you in this time of crisis and "new Normal".

Great charity. Happy to donate. But, I just don't want to be contacted for additional donations. I donate irregularly to only a few charities of which Oxfam is now included. However, I prefer to do so if and when I'm able. Once I pick a charity, I will make additional donations as it becomes possible. Thanks!

Have not experienced Oxfam "America" per se. Have strictly appreciated Oxfam's interventions and efforts throughout the world. May I also point out that I reside in Canada, that my contribution of $50. was intended for OXFAM and not specifically Oxfam "America". I am, therefore, NOT happy with the fact that my donation was converted to US$ when debiting my credit card. I find this unethical and will not be donating again.
