Today is DAF Day! This event highlights the millions of donor-advised funds (DAFs) people have set up to make charitable donations and change the world. If you have a DAF, consider supporting EFF today.
Decisions about your privacy, encryption, artificial intelligence, online speech, and digital security will determine whether technology empowers people or concentrates power in the hands of a few. A grant from your DAF to EFF supports our mission to ensure that technology remains a force for freedom, innovation, and human rights.
If you’ve never heard of a DAF, just think of it as a bank account for your giving with some special benefits.
Grants from DAFs allow you to:
- Simplify your taxes by receiving an upfront single deduction for your multiple charitable donations
- Receive immediate tax benefits of multi-year gifts
- Avoid capital gains tax on long-term appreciated assets like stocks
- Boost your giving by investing your DAF funds
While allowing EFF to:
- Defend encryption, privacy, and security that protect users and developers
- Challenge unlawful surveillance and censorship that threaten democracy
- Shape technology policy to safeguards civil liberties while enabling innovation
- Build free privacy-preserving tools that strengthen digital autonomy
- Protect the rights of creators, researchers, and builders in the digital ecosystem
Your support helps ensure that the next generation of technology will strengthen our freedom. Consider a DAF gift today.
