Wikimedia
Alan was an early user of Wikipedia and supported this independent platform. One of Alan’s final wishes was to donate £10,000 to Wikimedia, the foundation behind Wikipedia and other initiatives. The donation went to the Wikimedia Endowment, which helps ensure that Wikipedia and its sister projects will be online, independent, and growing for years to come – and that as many people as possible might have access to the world’s largest shared repository of knowledge into the future.
Electronic Frontier Foundation

One of his final wishes was to donate £10,000 to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, whose “mission is to ensure that technology supports freedom, justice, and innovation for all people of the world.”
