Donation Methods

Any of the following donation methods are possible for your donor organizing efforts:

  • Online Donation Link (credit/debit card, PayPal, Venmo, Google Pay)

  • ACH/Wire Transfer

  • Check 

  • Stock Transfer

  • Donor Advised Fund (DAF)

  • Cash (for candidates: $100 or less)

  • For those 70.5 years or older: Traditional IRA

  • Cryptocurrency

Which options are allowed for the organization or candidate you’re raising for depends on who you’re raising for. Often, this will be listed on their website.

In your follow-ups with donors, let them know exactly how they can make their donations. If there are c3, c4, PAC, and/or direct-to-candidate options, make sure the methods for donation are listed for each type of giving.

If you’re unable to find confirmation of all the donation methods for your particular cause, you can likely assume that online donations, wire transfers, and checks are accepted.
