Organisation and governance
Oxfam Sweden opened its first office in March 2014. We work with fundraising, communications, corporate partnerships and impact. Our goal is to inform the public about Oxfam's work, engage people in our issues, create change that benefits the fight against poverty and raise funds for our work around the world. Oxfam in Sweden is part of the global Oxfam movement.
The Swedish head office is located in Stockholm. Since 2020 we have an office in Malmö and in 2022 we opened offices in Gothenburg and Linköping.

How is your gift used?
The money raised in Sweden is used to help people affected by crises and disasters, for projects that lift people out of poverty and for communication and advocacy work that changes the root causes of why people remain in poverty. Oxfam operates in over 90 countries and Oxfam Sweden's money goes to a large number of projects in different countries. You can read more about which projects Oxfam Sweden's income has gone to in our annual report below.
Oxfam has a 90-account in Sweden, which means that we are affiliated to and controlled by the Swedish Fundraising Control. A 90-account is a seal of quality that guarantees that fundraising is done in an ethical way and that at least 75% of the funds raised are used for the purpose.
