Joint fundraising reporting

February 19, 2019

Federal political committees may raise funds with one or more other political committees or unregistered organizations subject to the FEC’s joint fundraising rules.

The FEC’s website provides important information on how to conduct and report joint fundraising activity. For example, joint fundraising representatives that only support federal candidates should file reports using Form 3 and follow the reporting schedule for authorized committees. Joint fundraising representatives that support at least one party or non-party political committee (such as a PAC) should file reports using Form 3X and follow the filing schedule for unauthorized committees.

For additional information, please visit our joint fundraising web page and our page on reporting joint fundraising activity.
