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.

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

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
