Registering a Joint Fundraising Committee

A new political committee established for joint fundraising (a "joint fundraising representative" or "JFR") must register with the FEC using FEC Form 1 (Statement of Organization). That form must identify the committee as a JFR, list the names and addresses of all federal committees participating in the joint fundraiser, and list the depository institution (bank) the JFR will use. Any federal candidate or committee participating in the fundraiser must identify the JFR as such on Line 6 of its Statement of Organization. Candidates must also designate the JFR as an authorized committee on the Statement of Candidacy (FEC Form 2). For more information, see the Reports Analysis Division FAQ, our Record article on joint fundraising and the regulations at 11 CFR 102.17.
