Amity Foundation

The Amity Foundation, with offices in Nanjing, China, and in Hong Kong, was established in 1985 as a non-governmental organization (NGO). It was created at the initiative of Chinese Christians, who continue to serve on its board. Because it is a Chinese organization, Amity can offer a genuine partnership with Chinese professionals who have a vision for meeting the needs of disadvantaged members of Chinese society. Christians from more than a dozen countries, including the United States, have joined hands with the Amity Foundation to promote friendship and understanding and to contribute to Amity’s efforts in rural development, education, social welfare and Bible printing. The Amity Foundation:

1. contributes to China's social development and openness to the outside world
2. makes Christian involvement and participation in meeting the needs of society more widely known to the Chinese people
3. serves as a channel for people-to-people contacts and the ecumenical sharing of resources
