Who funds the ACLU?

Diogenes

Oops! You ran into some problems.
Turns out that taxpayers do, one way or another.

Have you ever wondered who funds the ACLU? Where does the organization get its money?

The ACLU is a non-profit organization, exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

That means that taxpayers have to make up the funding the IRS doesn't collect.

The ACLU relies on tax-free donations and grants from a variety of sources.

According to the ACLU’s latest available tax filing (2020), the organization received $140.3 million in tax-deductible contributions and grants from a range of sources.

The organization’s top sources of funding, as of 2020, included:

Individual Donors: $64.6 million (46% of total contributions and grants)
Foundation Grants: $34.4 million (25% of total contributions and grants)
Corporate Donations: $14.1 million (10% of total contributions and grants)
Government Grants: $10.3 million (7% of total contributions and grants)
Other Sources: $16.9 million (12% of total contributions and grants)

Take a look at who's getting big tax breaks by diverting their income to the ACLU for yourself.


Now, ask yourself if you're happy to take up the slack for those companies and foundations.
 
They do now...

And we're supposed to believe the ACLU is conservative/libertarian?

Take a look at a few of the other donors:

Google
Microsoft
Amazon
The Walt Disney Company

They all get tax breaks...and the ACLU pay no tax on their income.

Guess who takes up the slack to fund the government?

You obviously know nothing. ACLU is taxed like all other nonprofits.
