Donate
Join our supporters to create long term, sustainable change.
Your donation directly contributes to protecting and defending the millions of people globally who are subject to egregious human rights violations.
Many of the human rights standards we now take for granted would not exist without the work of the ICJ. We continue to push forward the development of international standards and ensure these are followed by all States.
Regular monthly donations significantly reduce our operating and admin costs

Legacy donations
A legacy donation to the International Commission of Jurists means helping us in our fight to secure human rights and access to justice for all. A legacy generally consists of a sum of money, but can also include real estate, shares, or other assets.

We receive funding from individuals, foundations and governments to support our work. Every individual donation strengthens our ability to respond quickly and effectively to the key challenges faced by those who are most vulnerable.
We maximise the amount of money that is spent on substantive legal work. Each year, 76% of our budget is spent on the essential work that our teams are doing. These funds cover the costs of our legal experts, the activities that we implement, and the funding support that we provide to our local partners.

An average of 13% of our budget is spent on administrative costs that keep the organization running – this includes office rents, utilities and maintenance, accounting system, auditing and internal controls, salaries for support staff, website hosting, IT infrastructure and support, and insurance.
We spend 11% on fundraising to ensure that we have ongoing funds to support our work and to increase the amount of funding and effective work we can do. These funds primarily cover staff costs and travel. By providing a regular monthly or annual donation to the ICJ, you can help us to reduce these costs and ensure more of our budget goes into programming work.
Our financial reports are included in all of our Annual Reports. For more information, please contact [email protected]
