Piggybacking on this...

If you shop with Amazon.com, you can use the subdomain,

smile.amazon.com

to donate to your favorite charity, of which EFF is a part! So, if you'd like to 'passively' donate to the EFF, you can change your smile.amazon.com settings (and ensure you shop/checkout w/ the Smile subdomain) and a portion of your purchase will go to the EFF.

There are many organizations and charities that are a part of the Smile program, so choose whichever you'd like to support.



There's also a service called "Igive" which is even better & works with over 1000 different online merchants. Each merchant supposedly donates a percentage of your purchase to the cause you've chosen, which varies merchant to merchant. I've seen some who do as high as 20% while a majority are somewhere between 2-10%. Easy to use & much easier to add a nonprofit to if it's not already a choice. I was able to add Erowid & I'm not affiliated with them in any way. They have a great directory of all the supported merchants & even a discount/coupon code section. I'd be surprised if EFF wasn't already on it, but it could easily be added & you could use Igive to support them every time you shop online, which I think is awesome.
