A FAIR WORLD IS POSSIBLE WITH A GIFT TO OXFAM IN YOUR WILL

The impact of your gift

Your Will is a testament to what you believe in and it can create lasting change.

A gift in your Will is one of the most powerful gifts a person can make. This incredible act of generosity will transform lives and help end the injustice of poverty for generations to come.

Whether big or small, a gift in your Will to Oxfam will pave the way towards our shared goal of an inclusive and sustainable world for everyone. Together we can change the world.

The impact of your Will

Including a gift to Oxfam in your Will ensures that our life-changing programmes will continue to benefit future generations. Learn more about Oxfam’s work.

Wording for your Will

If you haven’t written your Will yet, and want to add Oxfam, here’s a guide on the most effective wording. Feel free to show this to your solicitor when visiting them.

“I give, free of all duties and taxes, to Oxfam Aotearoa (Charity registration number CC24641):

Choose among the following:

X% of my Estate
The rest and residue of my Estate
The sum of $… (fixed amount)
Details of a particular asset (such as shares or property)

… for its general purposes. An authorised receipt from Oxfam Aotearoa will be a sufficient discharge for the executor(s) or trustee(s).”

How to leave a gift in your will

Leaving a gift to Oxfam Aotearoa in your Will is a powerful way to build a future world without injustice and poverty for the next generation. It is a simple process, however, please seek professional legal advice to ensure any arrangements are legally valid.

You can download a free booklet or get in touch to request more information. Our legacy booklet provides the practical details of leaving a gift in your Will, such as our legal name and the types of gifts you can leave. The information can be stored until the time is right for you to visit a legal advisor.

Donate your tax return to Oxfam Aotearoa

Make your donations go even further!

Did you know that your charitable donations are tax deductible? Claiming your tax credit and donating it back to Oxfam is a fantastic way to make your donation go further. Should you choose to donate your year-end tax credit to Oxfam, you can be assured that your generous gift will be used where it’s needed most, fighting poverty and inequality.

Are you leaving your tax credits unclaimed?

Donations to Oxfam are eligible for a 33.33 percent tax credit from the Department of Inland Revenue (IRD). Yet, half of all donations made to New Zealand charities are left unclaimed.

It's now even easier to claim your tax credits

Our partnership with Supergenerous means you won’t have to worry about filling in forms anymore… When you sign up, Supergenerous will claim your charity tax credits for you, on your behalf!

So how does Supergenerous work?

You sign up.

Tell Supergenerous who you’ve donated to in the last 4 years. They will collect the donation receipts for you.

They make the claim.

Supergenerous (previously known as Fund a Future) is authorised by IRD to claim your charity tax credits on your behalf.

You get your tax credits.

During the sign-up process you can choose whether to regift or keep your tax credits.

About us

Better Taxes for a Better Future

The power to make our tax system better lies with our decision makers – but as voters, we have the power to influence them!

Climate Shift: Sign the petition

The climate crisis is escalating in severity. Communities across Aotearoa are now feeling the devastating consequences of inaction firsthand. Right now, we have the opportunity to shift to a more connected society, where people and nature thrive.

Commit to a Fossil Fuel Free Pacific

Pacific leaders have issued an historic call to action for a Just Transition to a Fossil Fuel Free Pacific. We need our Minister of Climate Change James Shaw to stand with the Pacific and join their call.

What She Makes

Women make up 80% of the garment industry and 9 out of 10 do not earn enough even to afford decent meals. A living wage is not a luxury but is a minimum all working people should be paid to escape poverty.

Why we campaign

If we use our collective power, we can make real the vision of a world without poverty, and shift the window of what’s politically possible.

Work at Oxfam

At Oxfam, our volunteers, interns and staff work together to support communities in their efforts to overcome poverty and injustice. We campaign to improve the lives of people around the world.

Opportunities include jobs as well as internships and registrations for the Pacific Humanitarian Register. (This is a pool of experienced humanitarian personnel available to support Oxfam’s Country Offices during emergencies).

Check for current vacancies here. Another great option is volunteering, or adding your support to an Oxfam campaign or event.

Volunteer with Oxfam

Your time, skills, energy and experience can do a world of good.

As a volunteer, your time, energy and experience can help Oxfam to achieve our goals.

Volunteering at Oxfam is a unique opportunity to gain and share skills in a range of areas. The majority of our volunteers are based at our Auckland office supporting Oxfam with a variety of tasks. Read one Oxfam volunteer’s story here.

Your hours can be flexible and you don’t have to commit to a long-term position. Volunteers are often needed to help out during busy times, such as during events like Oxfam Trailwalker.

We are not able to place every new volunteer right away, but we will contact you if a position becomes available.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Oxfam Aotearoa. We couldn’t do it without you!
