As an independent, nonpartisan 501(c)(3) organization, Washington Legal Foundation relies on annual charitable contributions from individuals, corporations, and foundations to carry out its singular mission. Though we do not disclose our donors, we remain humbled and grateful for their generosity and for making WLF’s achievements possible. Contributions to our annual general operating fund sustain our efforts through an array of well-established advocacy tools as carried out by our Litigation and Legal Studies Divisions, respectively.

WLF is fully eligible for matching-gift programs and all charitable contributions are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law. The Washington Legal Foundation Tax ID number is: 52-1071570.
