Fundraising

Every check logged. Every donor thanked. Every report ready.

A donation page, a recurring-gift plan, a donor directory and a thank-you queue — built into the same record your treasurer files from, not a separate ledger you reconcile by hand.

No credit card. No sales calls, ever.

FreedomVote Fundraising is a donation page, a recurring-gift plan, a donor directory and a thank-you tracker built into your campaign — so every dollar a friend gives you is logged, acknowledged and already sitting in the report your treasurer has to file. It is not a separate fundraising tool you reconcile against your compliance records later; it is the same record.

You can run donations through WinRed if that is where your committee already banks — WinRed charges 3.94% on grassroots pages and 3.2% on high-dollar pages, it is the standard rails most of the GOP runs on, and we work alongside it rather than asking you to abandon it. Either way, every gift lands in one donor directory with a running history, so you know who gave, how much, and whether anyone has thanked them yet.

This is your name on the ask. When a neighbor writes you a $50 check, stewarding it — logging it correctly, thanking the giver, keeping it reportable — matters as much as raising the next one. FreedomVote plans start at $39 a month for a candidate and $149 a month for a committee, with fundraising and compliance built in, not billed separately.

Stewarding donors the old way

  • A check from a friend, entered into a spreadsheet a week later — or never.
  • A donor who gave twice, thanked once, or not at all.
  • A Stripe or WinRed inbox your treasurer re-keys the night before a filing deadline.
  • No record of who gives every month until the pattern is gone.
  • A cash gift at the county picnic that never makes it into any ledger.

Stewarding donors with FreedomVote

  • Every gift — check, cash or card — logged the day it comes in.
  • A thank-you queue that flags every donor who has not been thanked yet.
  • Donations reconcile automatically to the reports your treasurer files.
  • A donor directory with full giving history, recurring or one-time.
  • WinRed gifts land in the same record — no second ledger to keep straight.
Why it’s different

Three things a donation page alone can’t do

💌

Every donor thanked, on time

A gift creates a line in a thank-you queue the second it lands — who gave, how much, and whether they have heard back from you yet. Friends and neighbors gave you money because they believe in you; a prompt, genuine thank-you is how you keep believing in them, and how a $25 first-time donor becomes a donor for the whole campaign instead of a name you forgot to follow up with.

📇

One donor directory, not five spreadsheets

Card gifts, checks, cash at an event, and recurring monthly donors all land in the same directory with a full giving history attached to each name. You can see at a glance who has given before, who is overdue for a thank-you, and who has quietly lapsed on a recurring gift — instead of piecing that story together from three different inboxes right before an ask.

⚖️

Reconciled to your compliance reports

Every dollar that comes in, from whichever page it came in on, is already sitting in the same record your treasurer files from. Nobody re-keys a stack of Stripe or WinRed notifications into a spreadsheet the night before a deadline, and nobody discovers a mismatch after the filing is already in.

What it looks like

A thank-you queue nobody has to remember to check

This is the queue a first-time candidate opens the morning after a coffee at a supporter’s kitchen table — every gift from the last week, and whether it has been acknowledged yet.

Nothing here requires you to remember who gave what. The record already knows, and it already matches what your treasurer will file — whether the gift came through WinRed, a FreedomVote page, or a check someone handed you at the door.

You spend the morning writing three honest thank-you notes instead of hunting through your inbox for who still needs one.

Every gift is a name, a number and a next step — never just a number.

The part that isn’t about revenue

That $50 is a friend’s money. Treat it like it.

Nobody gives to a local campaign to make you rich. They give because they trust you, and that trust is the thing you are actually stewarding — not a revenue number to maximize. A gift that is logged correctly, acknowledged warmly, and reported honestly is how that trust survives the campaign, win or lose. We built fundraising to make the stewardship easy, so the only hard part left is writing an honest ask.

Questions every smart buyer asks

Straight answers

Do I have to give up WinRed to use this?

No. WinRed is the standard rails most Republican campaigns already run on, and we work alongside it rather than asking you to switch. If your donation pages run through WinRed, those gifts flow into the same donor directory and the same compliance reports as everything else — you are not keeping two separate ledgers.

What does WinRed actually cost?

WinRed charges 3.94% on grassroots donation pages and 3.2% on high-dollar pages, with no monthly fee. That is a processing cost, not a FreedomVote fee — we do not mark it up, and we would rather you know the real number than guess at it.

How do you make sure every donor gets thanked?

Every gift creates a line in a thank-you queue the moment it lands — donor name, amount, date, and whether a thank-you has gone out yet. Nothing sits untouched because nobody remembered. For a first-time candidate, a prompt and genuine thank-you to the person who wrote the first check is often the difference between one gift and a donor for the whole campaign.

Does this replace my compliance reporting, or is it separate?

It is the same record. Every donation, whether it came through a FreedomVote page or WinRed, reconciles automatically to the reports your treasurer files — no re-keying a spreadsheet from a stack of Stripe or WinRed emails the night before a filing deadline. You still file with your state or the FEC; we make sure the numbers already match.

Can I track checks and cash, not just online donations?

Yes. A check handed to you at a Lincoln Day dinner or a cash gift at a coffee gets logged into the same donor directory as an online card gift — same fields, same thank-you queue, same reportable record. Nothing about how a gift arrived should determine whether it gets tracked correctly.

What about recurring donors?

Recurring gifts show up in the donor directory with their full giving history, not just the most recent charge, so you can see who has given every month since March before you ever ask them for more. A lapsed recurring gift is flagged, too, so a declined card does not quietly become a lost donor.
