Fundraising Support: How It Works

Money is the fuel of every campaign, and most first-time candidates underestimate how much of their week fundraising takes. PolitiFast's fundraising support puts an experienced team behind your donor program.

How it starts

Fundraising is interest-gated: on your campaign's Services page, click "I'm interested, please contact me." That's it — no charge, no commitment. The team reaches out to understand your targets and your donor sources, then proposes how we can help.

What it covers

• Donor outreach strategy — who to ask, how much to ask for, and in what order; building your call-time program.
• Contribution tracking — keeping records straight from the first dollar, so reporting never becomes an archaeology project.
• Compliance-reporting support — hands-on help from the team preparing the contribution records your filings need.

Be clear about what this is: a service delivered by people, not a software tool. There's no self-serve filing dashboard — a team works your program with you.

Pairs with your launch homework

If you're early in your race, read Registering with the FEC or Your State and Campaign Finance Compliance Basics in the Starting Your Political Campaign category first — fundraising support builds on a correctly registered committee and a clean recordkeeping habit.

What happens next

After you express interest, the team reaches out to talk through your race, then proposes scope. Nothing bills until you've agreed to an engagement.
