Where your money goes

Your generosity means that Oxfam can do more to achieve lasting change to benefit the poorest people. In all our work, we aim to be effective and efficient.

Oxfam is accountable for achieving the highest standards in programmes that are effective in helping people help themselves and achieve their development rights. We keep overhead costs below 5 percent and ensure that around 80 percent of all funds raised are spent on programmes. For more information about our record of achieving results in humanitarian relief, long term development and campaigns, and details of our finances, please read our Annual Review.
