Finances
For over 60 years, Amnesty International has stayed fully independent of any government, political ideology, economic interest or religion.
All our programmes, policies, and operations are non-partisan. We criticise and applaud objectively.
Our funding comes from people across Aotearoa New Zealand who believe a better world is possible. All of our financial decisions are guided by an elected board. Amnesty International is member-based.
