Distributed Fundraising Program

Distributed Fundraising Program

Apr 4, 2023

This campaign page explains Indivisible’s Distributed Fundraising Program — a streamlined way for local groups to raise and spend funds through an ActBlue page, access a debit card, reporting tools, and support — plus guidance on eligibility and spending restrictions.

We make fundraising easy!

Is lack of funding a barrier to your group’s work?  Has your group struggled with keeping track of donations and expenses? Would you like to be able to accept credit card donations and pay for group costs via a debit card?

We’re excited to present a potential solution for you!

Indivisible’s Distributed Fundraising program is a streamlined process for groups to fundraise without forming a board of directors, writing bylaws, registering as an independent organization, or seeking out 501(c)(4) status. As part of this process, we will provide you with:

  • An ActBlue page for supporters to donate directly to your group
  • A debit card to spend the funds you raise
  • Guidance and resources to help you maximize your fundraising
  • Access to information about who has donated to your group
  • And a system for reporting and monitoring your group’s spending

Sign up here today, and reach out to fundraising@indivisible.org with any questions.

I want to know if this program is a good fit for my group

You can spend funds you raise through this program on general group costs like Zoom or a website, outreach and community events, advocacy work, and more. But because we are a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, there are certain spending restrictions. Review our one pager to see if this program is right for your group!
