Joint fundraising

As the general election approaches, committees may consider partnering up on fundraising efforts by holding joint fundraisers. 

Joint fundraising is fundraising conducted jointly by a federal political committee and one or more other political committees or unregistered organizations. 

Joint fundraisers must be conducted according to specific registration and reporting rules. For example, joint fundraising participants must designate a “joint fundraising representative,” by registering a new political committee or by selecting one of the participating federal committees to act as the joint fundraising representative. Also, all participants must enter into a written agreement that states the amount or percentage that the participants agree to use for allocating expenses and proceeds. 

For more information on the rules that apply to joint fundraisers, please visit our joint fundraising web page and watch our joint fundraising e-learning video.
