Combined Federal Campaign
EFF is one of several, carefully selected Human and Civil Rights Organizations across the country that federal, some state and local employees can donate through payroll deductions. We are proud that so many government employees decide to support digital civil liberties as part of the annual Combined Federal Campaign, and would be happy to provide you with more information about how you can contribute, or visit their site at http://www.hcr.org/our-members.html.
EFF’s CFC Code is 10437.
Even if you’re not a government employee, you can participate by representing EFF at local campaign events and fairs. Please contact EFF’s Membership Advocate Christian Romero at [email protected] for training and informational materials to distribute at an event near your hometown.

Employee Giving and Matching Gifts
Many workplaces match their employees’ charitable gifts, meaning EFF will receive anywhere from 50% to 200% in additional contributions, as long as you report the donation to your employer. There are usually three steps to the process:
- Make your donation to EFF
- Obtain and fill out a matching gifts form
- Submit the form to the human resources or philanthropy department
EFF will take it from there. If you want to help your colleagues, please add a description of the matching gifts procedure at your company and links to any forms available online at https://eff.org/match.
Hardware Donations
EFF is always grateful to receive donations of computing equipment and related hardware, which can be of great benefit to our organization's work. However, our needs are specific, and we cannot accept unsolicited equipment.
We are not currently accepting hardware donations. We will update this page as our needs change. Thank you for your interest.
EFF is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization (FEIN 04-3091431) as recognized by the Internal Revenue Service. No goods or services, in whole or in part, were received in exchange for this contribution, therefore, the full fair-market value of your contribution is deductible for income tax purposes in accordance with Internal Revenue Service rules and regulations.
Legacy Giving
Create a Legacy through the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Long-Term Investment Fund for Digital Civil Liberties
There are many ways you can make a significant gift to EFF that will provide you with tax savings and other benefits. Depending upon your unique financial planning objectives, you can be a major supporter of EFF using any or all of the giving methods described below. It is important, regardless of the size of your estate, to have a properly executed plan to ensure that you, not the courts, determine who will receive your property upon your death. When you create a will or living trust with a qualified advisor, attorney, accountant and/or financial planner, you ensure that your intentions are carried out. You are also ensuring that the needs of the people and organizations you care about will be met. The Development Team is prepared to work closely with you and your financial advisors to explain the benefits of each gift category. We encourage you to consult with your tax advisor for specific information about your own estate and financial planning goals.
Bequests
The amount of a bequest gift is fully deductible for estate tax purposes. Gifts of securities, real property, and business interests may be made as bequests. Some sample language you can use to include EFF in your estate plan: "I bequeath to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, 815 Eddy Street, San Francisco, California 94109, the sum of ______________ ($) dollars for its general purposes."
Gifts of Life Insurance
By naming EFF the owner and beneficiary of an existing policy, you receive a tax deduction for the cash surrender value. You may also decide to make EFF the beneficiary of a life insurance policy. If you make gifts to EFF in the amount of the policy's premiums, you can take a charitable income tax deduction (provided EFF is not obligated to use the payments to cover the policy's premium).
Retirement Plans
You can name EFF as a beneficiary of an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), 401 (k) Plan, 403 (b) Plan, Qualified Pension Plan, or Qualified Profit-Sharing Plan. Transferring these assets to a family member at the death of the plan participant may trigger two potential federal taxes: estate tax and income tax. When a beneficiary is someone other than a spouse, the combination of these taxes could consume most of the assets intended for transfer. Since EFF is a tax-exempt organization, we do not have to pay taxes on the income from the plan. Your plan administrator can provide you with a beneficiary form.
Financial Accounts
By including EFF as a beneficiary of a bank account, brokerage account, mutual fund account, or an asset such as a certificate of deposit (CD), you can provide a legacy gift to support our work. Your estate would receive a charitable deduction equal to the amount of the gift. Simply fill out a beneficiary designation form obtained from the institution holding your account.
Specific language for a bequest
Organization name: Electronic Frontier Foundation
Address: 815 Eddy Street, San Francisco, CA 94109
Tax identification number: 04-3091431
Organization type: Nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status
Legal Language: Electronic Frontier Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit corporation, organized and existing under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and with the principal business address of 815 Eddy Street, San Francisco, CA 94109.

Organizational Membership
Donations from businesses and other organizations allow EFF to address challenges to digital freedom wherever we are needed most. While EFF does not endorse private companies or their products, we're grateful for their contributions in support of our digital rights work. Learn more about organizational membership here.
Stock Donations
A gift of appreciated stock generally offers a twofold tax savings. First, you avoid paying any capital gains tax on the increase in the value of the stock. Second, you receive a charitable income tax deduction for the fair market value of the stock on the date it is transferred. Make sure you have owned the stock for a "long-term" period (more than 12 months) to qualify for these tax advantages. Gifts of appreciated stock are fully deductible--up to a maximum of 30% of your adjusted gross income. Please check with your accountant or tax advisor regarding your particular tax status.
To facilitate the transfer of securities, please use the following information:
- Brokerage Firm: Morgan Stanley
- Account Name: Electronic Frontier Foundation
- Contact: Douglas Ingham: 650-926-7621
- E-mail: [email protected]
- EFF Account #: 233-055606-950
- DTC #: 0015
- Tax ID #: 04-3091431
Please let us know in advance if you are transmitting securities via DTC by contacting EFF's Donor Relations Manager Daniel de Zeeuw at [email protected]. You may also find it convenient to email him a copy of the letter of authorization from your broker.
