And yes, I did remember to include the required name, address, occupation and employer, in case she asks.

(54,506 posts)Over a certain amount, you are required to ask contributors for that information, so you would have had to end up asking me anyway. I just figured I'd save you the trouble. You have bigger fish to fry.

Love to see it flip!

Innovative tools + the power of millions
ActBlue is a nonprofit, building fundraising technology for the left. Our mission is to democratize power and help small-dollar donors make their voices heard in a real way.
We develop top-of-the-line fundraising software and offer simple, intuitive tools to help campaigns and organizations connect with new and existing grassroots donors. As a result, nonprofits thrive and Democratic campaigns get more donations through ActBlue than any other platform. Together, we build powerful movements.
How do we make that happen? Well, first we test and retest our contribution forms to maximize conversion rates. We make it as easy as possible to give, no matter where the donor is, or on what device theyre using. And we make it free for campaigns and organizations no tricks or add-ons. And with a top-notch tech team, our tools are always dependable, and were always working to upgrade them.
Thats why a majority of Democratic Senate and House campaigns along with the DCCC, DSCC, DGA, over one-third of statewide campaigns, and advocacy organizations around the country have chosen ActBlue.
But were so much more than a toolset.
Together, weve raised 2,171,203,780 dollars for Democrats and progressive causes in just 13 years. Weve built more than just a fundraising platform. Weve created the kind of grassroots power that can take on, and beat back, the power of corporate spending and secretive super PACs.
And thats the difference that ActBlue makes to candidates, organizations, and the supporters who champion them.
The fine print were willing to shout from the rooftops:
ActBlue acts as a conduit federally and in most states, which means we provide the infrastructure for campaigns and organizations to fundraise online, but we dont fundraise on behalf of anyone. Unlike groups that spend large sums of cash from undisclosed sources, ActBlue offers grassroots donors a way to give fully disclosed donations to the candidates and causes they choose.
