Support Digital Privacy With Your Donor-Advised Fund

Privacy has never been more critical than it is today.

Privacy Guides works every day to defend digital rights and spread the word about mass surveillance programs and other daily privacy invasions.

A grant from your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) lets our researchers, activists, and maintainers create informative content, host private digital services, and protect privacy rights at a time when the world needs it most.

How do I give with a DAF?

Why give with a DAF?

Many supporters choose to recommend grants from their Donor-Advised Funds because they recognize that privacy and digital rights are foundational in a modern society.

If you choose to give to Privacy Guides today, your DAF will:

  • Defend and promote privacy through our educational video content. Our channel reached well over a million views this year, and we don't intend to stop growing the privacy movement here.
  • Grow our community of privacy learners and advocates, including our forum, Matrix, and Signal group, where people with any level of knowledge can get privacy advice and ask questions about their digital rights.
  • Spread the word about privacy and cybersecurity developments, through our news articles and broadcasts, and of course, our informative resources on privacyguides.org.

Donor-Advised Funds are a high-leverage way to support our long-term work promoting privacy tools and defending digital freedoms.

Grants from your DAF allow you to:

  • Simplify your giving. You get a single tax receipt when you contribute to your fund.
  • Receive immediate tax benefits for multi-year gifts to your favorite charities.
  • Grow your giving by investing your DAF funds.
  • Avoid capital gains tax on long-term assets like stocks.

Your support helps spread the word of the importance of privacy and how it is fundamental to the next generation of technology.

How else can I support Privacy Guides?

If you don't have a DAF, there are many other ways to support privacy advocacy and digital rights. We accept gifts of stock, IRA qualified charitable distributions, cryptocurrency. You can also donate via ACH bank transfers, or credit/debit card.
