The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt,
nonprofit organization in Washington, D.C. Our total budget for 1993
was in the neighborhood of $1.7 million. The 1994 budget was also
approximately $1.7 million.
Like many other public interest advocacy groups, EFF sustains its
activities through membership dues, individual donations and gifts,
and foundation and corporate grants.
Much of EFF's research on public policy and technology is conducted
through the Communications Policy Forum (CPF). Jointly sponsored
by EFF, the Consumer Federation of America (CFA), and the American
Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), CPF brings together consumer groups,
communications and computer firms, and public policy experts to
explore communications policy options. CPF does not engage in
lobbying or take positions on issues. It is broadly supported by
foundations and corporations with widely divergent and conflicting
views on communications policy. Funders include:
Adobe Systems Apple Computers
AT&T Bauman Foundation
Bell Atlantic Benton Foundation
Dun & Bradstreet Electronic Mail Association
IBM Interval Research
Kaleida Lotus Development Corp.
MCI Telecommunications Microsoft Corporation
Newspaper Assoc. of America NCTA
PictureTel RSA Data Security
Sun Microsystems Tides Foundation
Ziff Davis
EFF's policy goals and advocacy positions are determined by EFF's
board and staff. In support of these positions, EFF does, from time to
time, assemble political coalitions that include EFF corporate funders
and other public interest organizations. For example, corporations
such as Lotus Development Corporation, RSA Data Security, and Apple
Computer have contributed funding for EFF's digital privacy work.
Major individual donations and foundation and corporate grants
range from $10,000 to $250,000. EFF also receives many smaller
donations from individuals supportive of its work. EFF has over
2,000 members who pay dues of $10-$500 annually (regular membership
dues are $40 per year).
