The ACLU was founded in 1920 and is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to defending and protecting our individual rights and personal freedoms. The ACLU of Pennsylvania has more than 50,000 members, and our funding primarily comes from individual donations and some grant funding. The ACLU's growth primarily comes from legal and advocacy victories that they use to highlight their important work and reach new members.
