Membership policies and governance

Oxfam Canada includes a diverse community of members who actively support Oxfam's vision and mission. We invite all supporters to register as members and join in our work to build lasting solutions to global poverty and injustice. If you are not a member, please join today.

You can express your support as a member of Oxfam Canada in different ways. For many, membership means making a statement, speaking out, taking action and making change within a like-minded community. Many members contribute to Oxfam's work financially, by donating to our monthly giving program, SharePlan, or helping with fundraising activities.

Oxfam members often get more involved by taking action in our campaigns or volunteering in fundraising and educational activities. Oxfam members play an important role in spreading the word about Oxfam in the communities they are part of, helping to build support for our programs.

Members may also choose to participate in the governance of Oxfam Canada, by contributing advice or making policy recommendations to the Board of Directors, or nominating, standing for and electing positions in our National Board.
