Our donors
Our work is only possible because of the generous individuals and organisations who support us. We are very grateful to every person who donates to our work, whether through the Big Give, a friend’s fundraising campaign, or directly.
PBI UK would also like to express its gratitude to the individuals and institutions that directly sponsor a number of our activities, meaning that we can keep activity costs low and operate on a reduced budget.
Our support for human rights defenders is further enhanced by the pro bono support of staff from Clifford Chance, Doughty Street Chambers, and 33 Bedford Row.
We also wish to thank those who helped us to build PBI UK, including the Open Society Foundations and the Sigrid Rausing Trust.
And finally, thank you to all everyone who has donated to our cause but has chosen to remain anonymous.

We are grateful to the exceptional individuals who support us: all who donated to our general and emergency appeals, who took on a (virtual) challenge for PBI UK, and of course our regular donors, whose generosity allows us to react to emergencies and make long-term plans that increase the safety of human rights defenders at-risk.
