What's the difference between the ACLU and the ACLU Foundation?
ACLU: Gifts to the ACLU allow us the greatest flexibility in our work. While not tax deductible, these donations advance our extensive litigation, communications and public education programs. These gifts also enable us to advocate and lobby in legislatures at the federal and local level to advance civil liberties. When you make a contribution to the ACLU, you become a “card-carrying” member who takes a stance for civil liberties.

ACLU Foundation: If you prefer to make a tax-deductible gift, we encourage you to support the ACLU Foundation. Gifts to the Foundation support our litigation, communications, advocacy and public education efforts. You can join the ACLU Impact Society, a group of supporters leading the fight for equality and freedom, with a gift of $1,000.
