Amnesty International is a worldwide non-governmental organization focused on human rights. Amnesty International is based in London, the United Kingdom, having been founded in the city in 1961 by Peter Benenson and Philip James. Amnesty International claims more than seven million members ad supporters around the world and focuses its energies on campaigning and working for “a world in which every person enjoys all of the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights instruments”. Amnesty works in 6 key areas including the rights of women, children, minorities, and indigenous peoples, ending torture, the abolition of the death penalty, the rights of refugees, the rights of prisoners of conscience, and the protection of human dignity, with specific goals ranging from securing fair trials for political prisoners to ensuring free education for all children to ending prohibitions on abortion to promoting religious tolerance worldwide.

Amnesty International does receive grants from some governments and other organizations but a large chunk of their funding comes from donations from members and supporters. Supporters may choose to donate on a one-time basis or choose to donate on an ongoing monthly basis. Monthly donations can be set to an amount of the supporter’s choosing, with the ability to select from preset donations of $10.00, $25.00, $30.00, or $55.00 as well as the ability to enter a different custom amount for the donation. These monthly donations will then process automatically each month going forward. Donations can be stopped at any time by contacting Amnesty International.
