1.
Financial Gifts
Become a member of Oxfam’s Corporate Ambassadors program, where your tax-deductable monthly or annual gifts will make a significant and lasting difference in the lives of women and men in impoverished communities around the world.
We can share program information and updates with you, which you can then in turn share with your colleagues and employees so they can see how much of a difference your company’s support is making.
2.
Sponsorship
Oxfam Trailwalker is a fun, challenging, and rewarding team event, where teams of four commit to not only raising funds, but also hiking 100 km in 48 hours. Teams must start and finish the hike together. It is the only event of its kind in North America, attracting Oxfam and fitness enthusiasts from around the world.
Sponsorship opportunities range from product, sampling and in-kind, to media, check point, and overall event sponsorship. We would be happy to work with you to determine the type of sponsorship that would work best for your company.

Purchase Corporate Gifts
Tired of generic gift baskets and bottles of wine? Oxfam Canada has the perfect solution! Surprise your business contacts, clients and employees with life-changing presents from Oxfam Unwrapped that are sure to make a lasting impression and a lasting difference.
Giving back, especially right now, when so many have so little, is one of the best ways you can reward and thank your colleagues and clients.
7.
Gifts in Kind
Donating products and services is another invaluable and generous way businesses can support our efforts to help end global poverty. Gifts in Kind free up money that would have been spent on overhead costs. This enables us to offset operating costs so that donor dollars go even further in achieving our vision of a world free of poverty and injustice.
