Mission Statement
The ACLU is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, multi-issue public interest organization whose mission is to realize this promise of the United States Constitution for all and expand the reach of its guarantees. Founded in 1920, the ACLU works in courts, legislatures, and communities to ensure that these rights are upheld for everyone, regardless of background. With 54 local offices across the U.S., the ACLU’s attorneys participate in more Supreme Court cases than any other private organization and partner with organizers and volunteers on the ground. Our intersectional work encompasses a wide range of civil liberties issues, including achieving full equality for LGBTQ+ individuals, pursuing racial justice, establishing privacy protections in the digital age, reforming the criminal legal system, and preserving voting rights and access to healthcare. With over 4 million members, volunteers, and supporters, the ACLU is dedicated to safeguarding the rights of all individuals across the nation.
About This Cause
The ACLU is a network of national and state affiliate offices filing cases in both state and federal courts. In addition, our office in D.C. lobbies Congress to pass bills that advance or defend civil liberties and defeat those that do not, and our affiliates work in state houses across the country to do the same. The ACLU also uses strategic communications to engage and organize grassroots supporters and allies on the most pressing civil liberties issues of our time. The ACLU is nonprofit and nonpartisan. We do not receive any government funding. Member dues as well as contributions and grants from businesses, private foundations, and individuals pay for the work we do. The ACLU has two separate corporate entities, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the ACLU Foundation. Contributions to the ACLU Foundation are tax-deductible while gifts to the ACLU are not. Both the ACLU and the ACLU Foundation support the organization’s extensive litigation, communications, and public education programs. However, certain important activities carried out by the organization, such as lobbying, cannot be supported with tax-deductible gifts and are funded through the ACLU. Donations made through Benevity to the ACLU are directed to the ACLU Foundation and are fully tax-deductible. In addition, in accordance with most corporate matching gift policies which state that only tax-deductible contributions will be matched, Benevity can only process matching gift requests for gifts made to the ACLU Foundation.
