The educational parts get tax exempt status while the lobbying arm isn't tax exempt.

Since I donate to ACLU and PP, I'm aware they both have separate funds. The ACLU Foundation and Planned Parenthood are 501c(3). ACLU and Planned Parenthood Action Fund are lobbying arms and are 501c(4).

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
