Working together to end poverty and injustice

Oxfam 100 Club

The Oxfam100 Club is an ambitious initiative to bring together a small group of our most committed supporters.

The “ Oxfam 100” were originally a pioneer group of 100 New Zealanders who took up the challenge to overcome poverty in the Pacific.

The Oxfam 100 Club , named in honour of these members, is now looking for other inspiring individuals to continue supporting this bold, yet vital, venture.

Taking the lead

The Oxfam 100 Club is an ambitious initiative to bring together a small group of our most committed supporters, to make a significant investment in Oxfam’s most impacting work.

Investing in this work has become critical. The Pacific has been ranked alongside sub-Saharan Africa as making the least progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

This isn’t just a question of policy; lives hang in the balance.

What will my investment be?

We invite you to join the Oxfam 100 Club, with a donation of $5,000 per year, over the next three years.

Being able to count on your support means we’ll be able to work alongside communities for as long as it takes to improve things. So you can be assured that your gift will give what’s really needed to deliver real change – that lasts.

In return, we’ll be able to report in more detail back to you about what your investment is achieving, and you’ll have a unique insight into the programme and the people involved.

Best of all, as a small group of committed supporters, the Oxfam 100 Club members will set a profound example for other New Zealanders. Your leadership will be an inspiration to others.
