Major gifts

Amnesty's major donor development team is responsible for attracting and securing philanthropic income from individuals, trusts, foundations and companies. Major gifts support Amnesty's campaigning efforts to protect human rights around the world.

Having successfully completed a £3.5 million capital appeal in 2005, Amnesty was able to move into its new home - the Human Rights Action Centre.

The major donor team is now focusing its efforts on raising substantial financial support for Amnesty's ongoing campaigning activities, and, in particular, the Peter Benenson Memorial Fund.

There are a several ways of giving a gift to Amnesty:

  • Making a one-off donation
  • Making a multi-year donation, agreeing a schedule of payments
  • Making a gift of bonds, stocks or assets
  • Leaving a legacy in your will

If you are an individual UK taxpayer, Amnesty can claim the tax back on your donation via Gift Aid at no extra cost to yourself.
