Planning Your Legacy Gift

FOR A MORE EQUAL FUTURE

Your Legacy Can Change Lives

Access to clean water, education, reliable food sources and fair pay are basic human rights that, for many, are out of reach.

You can help create an equal future for all by including a gift to Oxfam in your will or trust, or by beneficiary designation of a retirement account, life insurance policy or other financial account.

Building a water tank for a small village or teaching a farmer new, sustainable practices that will help make their crops more resilient to climate change may seem like small acts. But each act can be lifesaving and is an essential part of our larger plan to address the inequalities that lead to poverty and injustice.

These are inequalities that can’t be fixed overnight or even during our lifetime. It will take years or even decades of continued, consistent work. That’s why gifts in wills are essential to sustaining Oxfam’s work as together, we strive for an equal future.

If you are in a position to do so, including a gift in your will or other estate plan is a gift not only to Oxfam, but to those who follow us. It’s the gift of a thriving and equal future for all.

Share Your Future Gift

We would be honored to know about your legacy gift. While your plans remain fully revocable and private, sharing this information with us has a real impact:

Though we may receive your gift many years in the future, knowing about your commitment allows us to act faster, invest more, and expand our reach. And when we receive your legacy gift, we will immediately put it toward our efforts to fight inequality and end poverty.

When you share your future intentions, we also have the opportunity to thank you. We would love to recognize your generosity during your lifetime, including welcoming you into the Legacy Circle, if you wish. Or, you can choose to be privately acknowledged but keep your future gift intention anonymous.

Our Promises:

  • You can change your plans at any time.
  • We will keep your gift entirely confidential, unless you give us permission to recognize it.
  • We will honor your intentions with care and integrity.

Oxfam amplifies the voices of marginalized people. We can’t think of a better way to reflect our values.
