The Online Policy Group depends on members and donors to provide the support necessary to make these important online policy projects possible. Growth in the free services we provide means we have to raise more funds to make it all possible. For specific reasons to contribute your support, see the fundraising appeal.

The Online Policy Group is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization in the United States which may accept contributions tax-deductible to the full extent of applicable law. OPG provides an acknowledgment and tax receipt for all donations over US$250 as required by the IRS, or for smaller donations if you provide us with an email address at the time you contribute or if you request a receipt delivered by snail mail. Please give so we can get that thermometer off the front page of the site!

New: You can now request donation reminders so you can remember to send donations on a regular basis.

The Online Policy Group accepts a variety of donations:
Credit card or bank transfer Check or money order Stock

Stock Donations

Donating stock to a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization like the Online Policy Group may provide significant tax advantages as the appreciation in the stock's value may not be a taxable event even when the tax-deduction is taken at the appreciated value of the stock.

Instruct your broker to send your stock to the National Investor Services Corporation specifying DTC Clearing 0044, accountholder Online Policy Group, and account number 420-04205-1-3.

Please also email donate@onlinepolicy.org to inform us of the name of the stock, number of shares, brokerage contact information, and date of donation so we can verify your donation.

  • Equipment / Goods for donation to San Francisco thrift store that benefits OPG

    Help support OPG by donating goods to the Community Thrift Store in San Francisco.

Located at 623 Valencia St (between 17th & 18th) in San Francisco, Community Thrift's drop off location is on Sycamore alley (between 17th and 18th). When donating items make sure to enter Sycamore Alley from Mission Street, as it is one way. If you live in San Francisco and have larger items to donate, such as furniture or 20+ boxes or bags of items, Community Thrift will gladly come and pick it up! Just call: (415) 861-4910
