What Oxfam America Action Fund Inc does
Mission
Oxfam america action fund (oaaf) is a partner organization to oxfam america. Oaaf strives to end global poverty, hunger, and social injustice through legislative lobbying and political advocacy.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990.
Programs
Accountable governance: oaaf combats inequality, the root cause of poverty and injustice, through legislative lobbying and political advocacy. Oaaf continued to push congress to make robust investments in foreign assistance funding after the dismantling of usaid and cuts to foreign aid, which resulted in congress allocating $50b in funding for foreign assistance. Oaaf has engaged on a suite of tax-related legislation, on issues ranging from taxation of the ultra-rich and strengthening corporate tax rates and enforcement, with a focus on the one big beautiful bill act's ramification for tax fairness and cuts to the social safety net. Oaaf advocated for federal labor policies that support workers and reduce inequality, while fighting back against regulatory rollbacks to workers' rights.
$122,194 spent51% of program spendingEducating the public: oaaf activated supporters around oxfam america's first-ever u.s. Inequality report, "unequal: the rise of a new american oligarchy and the agenda we need", which highlighted how decades of intensifying inequality in the u.s. Have culminated in a new american oligarchy, characterized by record levels of wealth concentration and outsized political power. We hosted two organizing and power-building trainings with partners, building relationships with local nonprofits, and hosted community-based postcard writing events in chicago, calling to tax the ultra-rich. Oxfam action network volunteers attended ellevate louisiana's legislative policy conference in baton rouge, joining labor and advocacy partners focused on strengthening economic security for women and families.
$59,143 spent25% of program spendingCampaigning: oaaf campaigns for fair and just policies. The oxfam action network continued building organizing capacity and supporter engagement through a mix of trainings, volunteer mobilizations, advocacy meetings, and local community events. Oaaf continued advocacy directly to congress, through multiple fly-in lobby days, where oaaf supporters lobbied congress on foreign assistance funding as well as legislative language related to congressional spending directives, administration reporting requirements, and transparency provisions. Oaaf advanced a robust labor agenda through state-level advocacy, coalition building, and sustained partnership with organizations working to improve economic security for women and families across the southeast.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $1.2M to $895k (−25%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
99% of OXFAM AMERICA ACTION FUND INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (99% for the typical peer).

Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 10 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $11k → $36k.
2 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 6% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $262k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Oxfam-America Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money OXFAM AMERICA ACTION FUND INC raised.
From the IRS filings of OXFAM AMERICA ACTION FUND INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
OXFAM AMERICA ACTION FUND INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 89% of grant income and the top three 97%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
98% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund OXFAM AMERICA ACTION FUND INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 95% · 2018 87% · 2019 100% · 2020 97% · 2021 91% · 2022 92% · 2023 80% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
17% of OXFAM AMERICA ACTION FUND INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
OXFAM AMERICA ACTION FUND INC draws 98% of its grant income from funders outside Massachusetts, across 7 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $72k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Against its field
OXFAM AMERICA ACTION FUND INC's funding base is broadening — from 2 funders to 3 as grant income climbed.
