Your Vision. Your Legacy. Your Future.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a leading organization in digital rights advocacy, is marking its 36th anniversary this month by encouraging supporters to include the nonprofit in their long-term giving plans. The EFF’s Lighthouse Society offers a structured way for individuals to make legacy gifts that will sustain the organization’s mission of protecting digital freedoms, advancing social justice, and fostering innovation for underserved communities worldwide.

Founded in 1990, the EFF has been at the forefront of defending civil liberties in the digital age. Through litigation, policy advocacy, and public education, the organization has played a pivotal role in shaping laws and norms that safeguard privacy, free expression, and access to technology. By joining the Lighthouse Society, donors can ensure that this work continues to have an impact long after their lifetimes.

A legacy gift to the EFF can take several forms, including bequests in wills, beneficiary designations, or other estate planning arrangements. These contributions provide financial stability and enable the organization to expand its initiatives, such as fighting surveillance overreach, defending net neutrality, and supporting whistleblowers. Donors can rest assured that their gifts will be used efficiently and effectively, as the EFF maintains a transparent and accountable approach to all funding.

The Lighthouse Society is designed to recognize supporters who make planned gifts, offering a way to acknowledge their commitment to digital rights. The program also provides resources and guidance to help individuals navigate the process of estate planning. For those interested in learning more, the EFF has designated Jocelyn Wicker as the point of contact, reachable at majorgifts@eff.org or through an online form on their website.

In a time when digital rights face growing challenges, the EFF’s work remains critical. Legacy gifts help secure the organization’s future, ensuring that its mission endures for generations. By including the EFF in their estate plans, donors are not only preserving their values but also investing in a more just and open digital world.
