Planned Gifts

Making a gift to the ACLU through your will, retirement plan, or life insurance is a meaningful way to advance liberty and ensure that we’ll have the resources we need to fight for civil liberties in the future, as we have for more than 100 years. To learn more about planned giving opportunities, visit this page, and reach out to development@acludc.org to have a conversation about how to leave a legacy through a planned gift.

Employer matching gifts

You may be able to double or even triple your gift’s impact by having it matched by your employer. Many employers have matching gift programs – reach out to your human resources department or your supervisor to find out if your employer offers this.
