Wells & sanitation

Happy birthday, Mum — this one's for you. x

Your recipient gets a card, not a receipt

An e-card with this photograph on the front, their name, and whatever you want to write inside. It arrives by email on the day you choose. You'll write it at checkout.

Before you give

Does my money buy that exact item?

Your donation funds the collection of work your gift belongs to — so a goat funds livelihoods programs, and an emergency kit funds humanitarian response. That flexibility means your gift goes where it's needed most, when it's needed most.

Do I get a tax receipt?

Yes. Your full purchase is a donation to Oxfam Canada, and you'll receive a charitable tax receipt for the full amount.

Does the person I'm gifting receive anything?

Yes — a personalized e-card, delivered by email. It carries your own message and their name, and tells them what their gift represents. No packaging, no shipping, nothing to dust.
