Unfortunately, I just do not have an extra $25, though I had planned to donate what I had left in my paypal balance: 21.33. Maybe EFF could adjust their form to allow for those of us who would like to give what we can, but just do not have the means to give at their beginning level.

My take on it is that if they need a new building, they are gathering funds and momentum and that is a good thing. I believe their headquarters is there yes.

I still donated because I love the EFF. But I thought people might want to know. I am also a little confused as it looks like the original donation also has to go to the building fund to be matched by the Brin Wojcicki fund based on what I read. Does anyone know why EFF needs a building in expensive San Francisco? Are they headquartered there already or something?
