The Amity Foundation (simplified Chinese: 爱德基金会; traditional Chinese: 愛德基金會; pinyin: Àidé Jījīnhuì) is an independent Chinese voluntary organization. As of 2010, it is the largest charity in China. It was created in 1985 on the initiative of Christians in China, with the late bishop K. H. Ting as its founder. Its main objective has been to help develop poor areas of the country. Amity's headquarters are in Nanjing. The organization includes the Amity Printing Company (APC, also sometimes called Amity Printing Press), the largest Bible producer in China. Amity Printing Company opened a branch in Ethiopia in 2016. Amity Foundation has an office in Hong Kong and opened a liaison office in the Ecumenical Center of the World Council of Churches in Geneva in 2017.
