 "The 17 years we spent assisting people in the emerging nations of Asia made us very aware of the dire need and poverty in the world. We are grateful for the benefits we receive from our charitable gift annuity and happy to know that Oxfam America will someday return those benefits to the grass roots communities in need."
—Virginia and Herbert Baumgartner, Florida


"To me, supporting Oxfam America is... a way to make a positive difference in the world. It is an honor to be a member of the Oxfam Legacy Circle by making Oxfam America the beneficiary of my retirement plan and life insurance."
—Ken Kaiserman, California


 "Oxfam's partners and programs accomplish exactly what we would do if we had the resources and knowledge... It is gratifying to know that we can help in a small way to mend and heal this torn, heartbreaking world. We did our charitable gift annunity as a memorial for our daughter Rachel who perished in the Pan Am 103 Lockerbie air disaster."
—Hope and Arnold Asrelsky, New York


"A few years back, I opened a charitable gift annuity with Oxfam America. It returns a much higher interest rate for me than anything the banks can provide... I appreciate Oxfam America's wonder methods of teaching people to be self-sustainable and their important water, sanitation, and health promotion work in times of emergencies."
—Violet Young, California
