Why do candidates and organizations use your platform?

Thousands of groups on the left use our platform to securely receive and process online grassroots contributions because we’re laser-focused on building the best fundraising tools for small-dollar donors and the campaigns and organizations they support.

  • As a nonprofit, ActBlue is committed to building tech and infrastructure for Democratic campaigns, progressive-aligned causes, and people trying to make an impact in order to fuel long-term, people-powered change. 
  • Our dedicated team is constantly testing our platform and thinking of innovative ways to improve. Our goal is to make our tools efficient and easy to use, so candidates, organizations, and individuals can mobilize their communities and create change. That’s why we have dedicated support teams for donors and the groups that use our platform, as well as free digital fundraising trainings.
  • Democrats up and down the ballot have access to the very best technology (like ActBlue Express, Venmo™, Apple Pay®, and Google Pay™) and don’t have to worry about spending time and money building their own software.
  • Money raised on ActBlue goes directly to the candidate or organization for them to use as they see fit. This is different from money raised by super PACs, which legally cannot coordinate how they spend their money with a campaign.
