WHY YOUR GIFT MATTERS
Your support can grow and shape the various ways in which Amnesty International Aotearoa New Zealand works to help save and better the lives of people around the world through protecting and upholding their human rights.
We need matched donors for our three annual appeals throughout the year. This is a wonderful way for your inspiring generosity to go further. When we ask New Zealanders for help and let them know that their gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a generous matched donor, they are not only more likely to give, but to give more. Think of it as your transformational power, amplified.
Contact Georgia on today to get involved!
