[Serious] What's your favorite non-profit and why?

EFF and IA, maybe also FSF
I recognize EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) but I didn't recognize the others. What is IA and FSF?

Planned Parenthood.
They’ve been around for decades helping and teaching teens about safe sex and offering FREE services to both men and women. Without planned parenthood many women wouldn’t have access to birth control or be able to get it discretely and men could get condoms for free and get helpful information about anything else they might need.
It’s one of the greatest organizations ever made imo. Kind dumbfounded how people believe planned parenthood performs abortions though when they don’t.

If you're in Europe and aren't quite comfortable with the "main" FSF, the European offshoot FSFe is generally considered to be fairly sensible. The FSFe has completely divorced itself from the FSF when Stallman returned to the FSF.

WikiMedia Foundation, the organization behind Wikipedia. Free knowledge for everyone seems like a pretty dope concept.

Obviously there's many non-profits who have a larger and more "necessary" impact on humanity, but a personal favorite of mine is lichess.org. It's the FLOSS, non-profit alternative to freemium and ever-more-enshittified chess.com. On lichess.org, there's zero ads or trackers (yes, not even Google analytics). And not only does it have the superior philosophy, it's actually just much faster and better as a chess server than chess.com.

Ekō covers a broad range of global action that I find important. In their words:
Ekō is a community of people from around the world committed to curbing the growing power of corporations. We want to buy from, work for and invest in companies that respect the environment, treat their workers well and respect democracy. And we’re not afraid to hold them to account when they don’t.
Barely a day goes by without a fresh corporate scandal making headlines. From polluting the environment to dodging taxes – when left unchecked, corporations don’t let anything stand in the way of bigger profits.
In an age of multinational companies that are bigger and richer than some countries, it can be easy to feel powerless. But they have a weakness. The biggest corporations in the world rely on ordinary people to keep them in business. We are their customers, their employees, and often their investors. When we act together, we can be more powerful than they are. Together, our community of millions act as a global consumer watchdog – running and winning campaigns to hold the biggest companies in the world accountable.
